Synopsis

In 1999 the American Board of Interventional Medicine is offering, for the first time, what will be an annual certification examination in Interventional Cardiology. Board certification is designed to recognize excellence among physicians specializing in interventional cardiology. Interventional Cardiology: The Essentials for the Boards is the first book to be written in accordance with the American Board of Interventional Medicine’s own guidelines.

The book is structured to accurately represent the balance of subject matter that can be expected on the certification examination. Care is taken to cover the essential points in each individual topic, highlighting state-of-the-art therapy and unresolved issues. Most chapters are presented in a question-and-answer format, along with a chapter of clinical case descriptions covering a broad range of clinical and interventional problems. A special chapter of "Interventional Cardiology Pearls" provides condensed, easily digested summaries of the most useful information in the previous chapters. In addition, it is the first book of its kind to include a detailed Table of Contents and a Subject Index, making it easy for the examinee to locate specific topics.

This book will be of great help to interventional cardiologist specialists preparing for the board certification exams. General cardiologists, cardiology nurses, cardiac catheterization lab support staff, and general cardiology fellows interested in increasing their understanding of intervention and related topics will also find this work useful.
