Prognosis : Cardiology contains 30 cases covering a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disorders - from ischemic heart disease to arrhythmias and from cardiomyopathies to valvular heart disease (see below for the list of cases).
The cases are excellent preparation for the USMLE Step 2 CS, COMLEX, NCLEX, CCRN and MCAT exams, as well as other board examinations and professional licensure tests.
The cases are also an excellent introduction to clinical cardiology for anyone interested in the field.
Each case can be completed in a few minutes, making it an ideal tool for quick or last minute revision.
The content is modeled on real life patients, has been checked by a panel of expert medical specialists and is based on current management guidelines.
