Its specific strong points include an attractive cover, paper of high-grade stock, excellent colored illustrations, well-constructed diagrams and tables, an assortment of worthwhile images, and a wealth of detailed and practical information on a wide variety of valvular, congenital, and rare forms of cardiovascular disease. Especially useful are the discussion, key points, and references that conclude most of the patient studies.”  (\u003ci\u003eTexas Heart Institute Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e1 August 2015)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFranklin B.

He remains active at Stroger Hospital of Cook County as a Voluntary Attending Physician in Adult Cardiology. While working for Cook County Hospital he was Director of the Cardiac Catheterization lab and for a period was Acting Chief of Cardiology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Saksena is currently an Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at Northwestern University and an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Rush Medical School. He also maintains a part-time private practice in Cardiology and Internal Medicine at Swedish Covenant Hospital and St. Mary of Nazareth hospitals.  \u003cp\u003eA number of cardiology training programs emphasize coronary artery disease whilst neglecting other aspects of cardiology such as valvular, congenital heart or vascular disease. This book attempts to redress this imbalance by reiterating the importance of history and physical findings in detecting valvular, congenital or vascular disease and to correlate the clinical findings to invasive and non-invasive studies. This approach will be useful to cardiologists in training particularly those sitting the Cardiology Board examinations, where recognition of auscultatory findings is now a requirement, and those with an interest in problem solving.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Each of the 90+ patient studies follows a templated design and consists of: history, physical examination, phonocardiography (whenever possible), ECG, Chest X-ray, echocardiography, hemodynamics, and, sometimes, angiography. These sections may or may not be randomized and readers are challenged to write an interpretation on each section as well as answering self-test questions posed in the legends. Patient studies have been arranged in approximately chronological order from 1966-2013 with emphasis on establishing a likely diagnosis based on the available tools then in existence.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Test your problem solving skills, improve your knowledge, and prepare for Boards, with this collection of unusual and challenging patient studies focused on the physical diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
