5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must - Have" for your Home Library, February 1, 2004

This review is from: Clinical Cardiology Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series 2006 Edition) (Paperback)

This is an incredible book for anybody and everybody in the medical field. It's great, easy reading with loads of very helpful information. It gives incredible instructions on everything from history taking and exam techniques, to interpreting ECG's and x-rays. The interactive CD allows you to put all the information together in case format to try to make diagnoses on patients, and really forces you into 'problem solving' mode. I highly recommend this book to ALL students, and even practitioners who want to brush up on their skills.

This review is from: Clinical Cardiology Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series 2006 Edition) (Paperback)

The book is just FANTASTIC. The reproduction of heart sounds is something absolutely necessary for the physician, but you cannot find real patients to hear all of these sounds. The addition of the CD, with this and other very important features is just too impressive to describe.
The best cardiology book I have ever read. In a scale of 1 to 10, it scores 20.

This review is from: Clinical Cardiology Made Ridiculously Simple (MedMaster Series 2006 Edition) (Paperback)

This book is out of this world!!!!!! Dr.Chizner brilliantly interweaves high yield facts with light-hearted cartoons for enjoyable reading. The highly informative diagrams and figures get to the "heart of the matter," and allow for easy understanding of complex topics. If only I had this book since the beginning of medical school!!! ---This is without a doubt an essential book for ALL students and health professionals. As an added bonus, I loved the one-of-a-kind interactive CD featuring Dr.Chizner's amazingly reproduced heart sounds, EKG's, and clinical vignettes. BRAVO to this virtuoso and his masterpiece!!!!!!!
