Samenvatting:

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
