This book is the "standard" if it comes to describe the knowledge on the anatomy and pathophysiology on coronary veins. Interestingly enough this part of the coronary circulation has been neglected for a number of years, although it becomes more and more evident that the disease process in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion influences and is influenced by the coronary veins. This book is a must if you are working on resynchronisation therapy or other innovative coronary sinus interventions. The collection of data keeps you informed on the experience of experts in the field and will improve your knowledge and may stimulate your work in this field.
