Description
This user-friendly review question book is geared specifically to candidates taking the Cardiovascular Boards and the Cardiovascular section of the Internal Medicine Boards, whether for initial certification or for recertification. The book contains over 700 questions with answers, focusing on the specific areas tested. Content areas are covered in the same proportion as on the actual exam to ensure highly targeted, high-yield preparation.
This edition's questions are based on patient-oriented scenarios to mimic the Boards. The electrophysiology chapters have been completely revised and include more tracings. Sections on heart failure, coronary artery disease, and STEMI treatment have been significantly revised to reflect current American Heart Association-American College of Cardiology guidelines.
