Cardiology PearlsThis book presents 125 actual cardiology cases in the unique Pearls format. Each case is presented by a brief clinical description, followed by a physical examination, laboratory findings, and a radiograph. The reader is then asked to formulate a diagnosis and/or a treatment plan. The next page reveals the diagnosis, provides a clear discussion, distills three or four pearls of practice from each case, and presents several key references. |
