Every year, more than 1800 residents and fellows and more than 2000
clinicians must take the CV board exam. This cardiovascular board
(and MOC) review text consists of hundreds of questions created by
the experts at the Cleveland Clinic that mimic the ABIM CV boards.
The 3rd edition features new questions relating to cardiac cath and to
electrophysiology, and several sections, including the congenital heart
and hypertension section, are expanded. This edition also presents more
case-based questions and has a full-color design.

DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Complex Cases in Echocardiography is a unique text written by a team
of top cardiologists at Cedars Sinai Heart Institute. Drawing from their
extensive library of echocardiograms, the authors feature 75 cases
demonstrating uncommon and puzzling echo findings. Each case begins
with a brief clinical presentation, and related images, followed by
multiple-choice questions. Detailed answers include patient outcomes
and follow-up recommendations. The cases include m-mode, 2-D, 3-D
echo, TEE, and Doppler ultrasound. In addition, three fold-out matching
quizzes present a particular physical finding or electrocardiogram to be
matched with the patient’s corresponding echocardiogram.
With the inclusion of cases seen in emergency situations as well as
routine readings in an echo laboratory, this text not only introduces the
reader to unusual cases, but also reinforces relevant techniques and
applications.. A companion website includes the fully searchable text
and features additional cases, along with actual case video clips.
