Cardiology, always a cornerstone of internal medicine, is becoming even more important as the prevalence of cardiac disease continues to increase. It is a rapidly enlarging field, ranging from basic science (molecular biology), imaging and other diagnostic techniques, to the newer invasive therapies. The aim of this volume is to facilitate self-assessment in cardiology by means of over 350 short cases, in the form of multi-part questions with detailed answers, plus photographs of clinical conditions, gross and microscopic pathology, anatomical and functional cardiac imaging, electrocardiography, pressure traces and line drawings. The questions tend to increase in complexity within each question, to suit different levels of expertise. The book also provides sources of help for examination candidates, including some 20 illustrated longer or "grey" cases, and notes on medical written exam technique. The answer section provides checklists and emphasizes up-to-date research. The book should be of interest to a wide range of professionals in practice and in training from young hospital doctors preparing for higher qualifications in cardiology and internal medicine, to established physicians who are stimulated by a problem-orientated review of their subject.
