According to the Foreword:
" This book was written primarily for coronary care nurses in the community hospital.
Lacking the expensive and elaborate apparatus taken for granted in our large medical centers, they must rely upon their clinical skill and judgment to detect detrimental changes in their patients' condition.
Since in this setting skilled and experienced physicians are not constantly in attendance, the main responsibility for the care of these critically ill patients fall upon the nurse. "
