Customer Reviews

One of the better Pearls Series books

This was well-written, concise, well-referenced, and contained practical as well as rare cardiology cases. EKGs, echo results, and other studies are included where relevent, and the discussions are brief yet thorough. It was a nice companion to my 4th year clinical cardiology clerkship.
