'This useful addition to the many books on cardiovascular disease in the elderly is well laid out and discusses all the appropriate problems that are likely to be faced by the physician who is in attendance on or advising the elderly patient with heart disease. ... The book provides sufficient references to enable the reader to pursue a topic in more detail without swamping the text with them; in fact it is quite clear that the advice given stems from the practical experience of the writer. This book greatly helps physicians with an interest in geriatric medicine and practitioners with large numbers of elderly patients under their care.' The Lancet (1984)
