Key areas covered in the book include:

Historical Context: It traces the development of the field from early 19^{th}-century experiments to the modern era, highlighting the revolution brought by cardiopulmonary bypass in the 1950s.
Clinical Practice and Assessment: A significant portion is dedicated to the preoperative assessment, covering detailed patient history, examination, and necessary investigations.
Procedural Planning: It details the essential tools and equipment, the roles of the specialized surgical team, and a checklist for pre-operative optimization and risk stratification.
Diagnostic Modalities: Comprehensive overviews are provided for interpreting chest X-rays, Computed Tomography (CT), cardiac catheterization, and echocardiography, including assessment of myocardial viability.
The handbook serves as a guide, providing foundational knowledge for understanding complex cardiothoracic conditions and their surgical management.
