Patient Studies in Valvular, Congenital, and Rarer Forms of Cardiovascular Disease

An Integrative Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Test your knowledge or prepare for Boards with this collection of unusual and challenging patient studies focused on detecting valvular, congenital or vascular disease.

Contains over 90 case histories with self-test questions designed to test the reader's knowledge and reinforce clinical best practices
Focuses on diseases of valvular, vascular or congenital origin, and on comparatively rare disorders/diseases, rather than coronary artery disease, to help readers improve their skills at interpreting and making decisions based on physical examination and basic, non-invasive imaging modalities
Each case is paired with original materials - e.g. x-rays, echocardiograms, lab reports, charts - so readers can work through their diagnosis using the same information as the physician who treated the patient originally
An ideal companion for those approaching board review or recertification or who want to improve skills in physical diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
