Book[edited by] Morton J. Kern, Arnold H. Seto
Summary: "SCAI Interventional Cardiology Board Review provides a concise overview of the field of interventional cardiology in order to serve as board exam preparation for those in training and those who need to recertify. It is written specifically for this audience and can also serve as a basis for in-depth training by nurses, technicians, physician extenders and general cardiologists. Coverage will include all topics included on the exam and chapters will be written by authors who are also"--Provided by publisher
