Additionally, the internal organization of the content is poorly structured. The material feels scattered and lacks a clear, logical flow, making it difficult to read and follow.

My cardio-thoracic ICU is a very complex unit. This book is great for anyone who learns and retains information through pictures with short, concise descriptions. It helps both myself and my fellow nurses with understanding and troubleshooting complications that arise with our patients in the unit.
Love this book… Great Visuals!!!!
Very informative but more basic and not as much content as I was expecting, for the price.
Amazing information, Thank you!
Can be a bit visusllly overwhelming
This is an amazing educational document. Thank you
Ok but lack some details like ekg readings
I think it’s great. I have shared it with my unit and hopefully we will add it to our orientation curriculum.
Perfect! Exceeds my expectations!
Totally worth the purchase! Fast shipping too!
I love it! It is very helpful!
I’m a heart patient and have been longing for a better understanding of my condition and care plan. In the hospital, a patient is too sick to grasp a full and complete understanding of what’s really going on- which leads to fear and uncertainty, especially if one has no medical background. I am so grateful to have come across this guide! Also, it’s fantastic for visual learners! Now instead of feeling overwhelmed, I feel empowered. Thank you so much!
A very accessible and incredibly helpful guide. Well done..!
Great for CVICU
Just disappointed with how flimsy the book is…also really thought there would be more content for the price. You can buy a nice used textbook for this price. 😭
The best,,,,,easy to understand and well detailed
Great study guide for FP-C!
Beautifully made
Excellent book! Great information and prep for my new job in the CVICU.
Love the physical book and the simplistic graphic on complicated topics
Love it!
I just got my book yesterday and super excited to read after seeing all the reviews! I start my LVAD job next week and I am sure this will broaden my cardiac knowledge.
I read other reviews and had concerns about the color of the pages but I like the contrast of the dark background with the visuals. it made them pop. It explains things nicely as well. Definitely recommend.
Awesome Book!
The book is colored coded which makes it easy to understand
Overall great!
This book is so impressive especially as a cardiac nurse!
Easy to read. Love it!
I like it. I intend to use it.
Excellent guide
Great information . The black backgrounds make it difficult to see some images and pages are very busy with all the images. Find myself having to look and strain a bit vs clear images but, overall great reference
