You learn the beta blockers together, then the calcium channel blockers, then the ACE inhibitors. It is a tidy way to write a book and a poor way to meet a patient, because nobody presents with \"I need a beta blocker\". They present with heart failure, and the question is what to give and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWaller's is organised by \u003cstrong\u003ebody system\u003c\/strong\u003e instead. The cardiovascular section takes you through the disease, the drugs that act on it, how they compare, and what you would actually prescribe.
