Synopsis
Case histories questions and answers for MRCP candidates revising for Part II of their examination.
Invites the reader to exercise their own clinical judgement in the form of questions - ideal for revision. Case discussions highlight the important features of each case - increases the candidate's awareness of the diagnostic problem and its key components.
Includes up-to-date material, including 3 HIV/AIDS cases, new drug therapies such as adenosine and octreotide, and new investigations such as MRI scanning and transoesophageal echo. Includes cases involving teenagers - the MRCP exam now includes at least one long case in common with the paediatrics exam.
Uses SI units throughout - in keeping with the MRCP exam. There is now an index to diagnoses - even more useful.
