CASE FILES-CARDIOLOGY 4TH edition:
Clearly, there is no replacement for education at the bed-side. Unfortunately, clinical situations rarely encompass the breadth of the specialty.Perhaps the best alternative is a carefully crafted patient case designed to stimulate the clinical approach and the decision-making process. In an attempt to achieve that goal, we have constructed a collection of clinical vignettes to teach diagnostic or therapeutic approaches relevant to cardiology.In this age of technology and high-definition imaging, we would like to reinforce the importance of the history and physical examination.
We urge that students diligently read through this area in Section I of the book, and practice their skills.We likewise urge our peer colleagues to spend time demonstrating to students and trainees how to properly perform the physical exam maneuvers. We hope that our cases will stimulate excitement for the clinical care of patients.
