Synopsis

A complete point-of-care Q&A guide to clinical cardiology

Cardiac Clinical Questions answers more than one-hundred of the clinical cardiology questions most frequently asked of the authors during consultation. The book simulates the consultation process: consult question →data collection→ synthesis of data → solution.

After clarifying the key concept, the critical data obtained includes the history, physical exam, EKG, imaging, and lab(s). A point-of-care solution is derived by inserting this data into simple logical equations. In addition, contraindications, discussions using evidence-based medicine, and references are included.

Cardiac Clinical Questions is Divided Into Nine Sections:

• Diagnostic Testing
• ACS
• Valvular Diseases
• Cardiac Diseases
• Examination
• Arrhythmias
• Congenital Heart Diseases
• Heart Failure and Hypertension
• Medications

Cardiac Clinical Questions is the single-best resource for quickly translating the most current knowledge into practical, diagnostic real-time solutions.
