This bibliography is compiled by cardiologists from the journals listed at the end of the publication. It is based on literature entered into our database between March 1, 1994 and February 28, 1995 (articles are generally added to the database about two and a half months after publication). In addition, the bibliography contains every paper annotated by reviewers; these references were obtained from a variety of bibliographic databases and published between the beginning of the review period and the time of going to press. The bibliography has been grouped into topics that relate to the reviews in this issue.
