I printed off most of them and made a book. Amazing stuff, easy to read.

Also, since you're CTICU, I'd recommend going through the pacep.org program. it's free.

Are you looking for something you can carry with you or something you can use at home. Or both?

I just recently acquired a PDA and am still in the process of finding the best software to use. I have Epocrates and frankly am not that impressed and just this morning downloaded Thomson (Micromedex) and that appears to be more complete. (It was free through my hospital!)

Alot of people like the Kathy White book for all critical care. Check out Kathywhite.com. There isn't a lot specifically just for CV meds.

Check out some of the threads on PDA's on this site. Someone said they got a refurbished palm from ebay for dirt cheap and absolutely loves it. I'd highly recommend it, it holds tons of info and it is easy on the back!!

I will ask around at work tonight and see if anyone knows of anything specific for CV.

Not a specific CV pharma book, but a very comprehensive reference for all CV surgery patients: Bojar's "Manual of Perioperative Care in Adult Cardiac Surgery."
