Review

Good. * Wael Sumaya AMAZON Reviews * Excellent overview of the KBA exam for all cardiology SpR's. Very good explanatory answers which help advance the candidates knowledge and clinical acumen. * Fezz AMAZON Revews * This book fills a void in the "cardiology reassessment" market as it applies to the UK, specifically KBA. Book is divided into 11 chapters which have 20-30 questions each and answers at the end of each chapter. It is the only book from UK based authors on KBA review. * Iqbal AMAZON Reviews * The first MCQ preparation book on the market for the KBA in Cardiology. Covering the whole scope of the syllabus and offering a truly authentic experience of the exam. MCQs for Cardiology Knowledge Based Assessment is the insider's guide to the KBA, to ensure you gain both the confidence and knowledge to pass. * BMA Medical Book Awards 2015 *
