This completely updated revision is a comprehensive study guide designed to accompany the new 6th edition of Braunwald's Heart Disease. More than 700 questions and answers give readers a thorough review of key topics related to contemporary cardiovascular medicine. The detailed answers often serve as in-depth mini-reviews of the content, written in a clear, straightforward style that's easy to understand. All information is cross-referenced to pertinent sections of the Braunwald text, the CD-ROM version of the text, and in most cases, additional journal articles. It's an excellent preparation for the Subspecialty Examination in Cardiovascular Disease, or for anyone wishing to review modern cardiovascular medicine in detail.
