Summary: cleveland clinic board review
Rating: 5
Excellent product.
It was received in excellent quality, and fast.
Summary: Too many mistakes
Rating: 3
Having just finished reading the book as I study for my general cardiology boards, I congratulate the authors for tackling such a complex task. Unfortunately, there are numerous errors and mistakes scattered through out the book. This forces one to be very careful as the book is read and digested.
Most of the chapters have questions and answers at the end to help with review. But not all the answers are correct (i.e. grossly incorrect, not just differences in opinion). And not all the chapters had questions and answers (was somebody lazy or just didn't get to it?).
There are scattered mistakes in the readings and figures. For example, one chapter had an ECG mislabled as Right Ventricular Dysplasia when in fact it was Brugada. Then the same ECG was used several more times and mislabled (obviously a place holder figure that was never fixed).
On a more positive note, the book was easy to read. Most of the figures were of good quality. Not too expensive. The mistakes were kinda obvious, but I worry since I'm reading this book to study.
Overall, I give the book 3 stars because of miserable proofreading.
