ASPC Self-Assessment Program in Preventive Cardiology (Contemporary Cardiology)

This book is a unique, comprehensive board review dedicated solely to preventive cardiology. This volume is a companion work to the ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology. The book is comprised of a series of questions, each which addresses a core issue in preventive cardiology. Each question is accompanied with a correct answer key as well as a discussion of why the chosen response is correct, and the others are incorrect. Answers are supported by illustrations and discussion of contemporary literature when applicable. The book also provides references for additional study. This book contains questions written by many of the original authors who contributed to the ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology. This book, along with the ASPC Manual of Preventive Cardiology, accompanies the ASPC Experts Course in Preventive Cardiology.

The ASPC Self-Assessment Program in Preventive Cardiology is a valuable resource for cardiologists and other specialists, as well as primary care clinicians (including internists, family physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) who seek additional training and expertise in cardiovascular disease prevention.
