Customer Rating:  
Summary: Spell Chick
Comment: Many spelling mistakes (sever instead of severe). The only stimulating feature of this book is figuring out which label belongs with which ECG because several labels were switched. Many repetitive sections. Hard to believe this is a second edition and so many mistakes were missed.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too basic.
Comment: This book claims to be a review for the cardiology board exam. It is not even remotely adequate for that purpose. It might be slightly useful for general internal medicine board review, but is probably too basic even for that.
Here's a couple of questions/answers from the book. These are direct quotes, from pages 106 and 107 of the second edition:
Q: What is the screening test of choice for carotid stenosis?
A: Duplex scanning.
Q: What does normal ventilation with decreased perfusion suggest?
A: PE.
Of course, some questions are more complex than these. But a substantial percentage of the book appears to be written on this level. I plan to take advantage of Amazon's refund policy.
