"Written by fellows who have taken and passed the Board examination in echocardiography, Questions, Tricks, and Tips for the Echocardiography Boards offers the hands-on advice readers need to build confidence and maximize scores. Written in a logical progression, this review takes the reader from the physics of echo, to how to perform an exam, to specific cardiac diseases and pathologies. Each question in this guide is compiled in a way to allow readers to structure their review by topic based on their own strengths and weaknesses. Over 690 questions and answers provide abundant opportunities for self-paced review. Questions based on the most recent board examination ensure current content. Handy tips and tricks save time, reduce anxiety, and optimize exam performance."--Provided by publisher.
