Description

1133 Questions: An Interventional Cardiology Board Review, 3rd Edition, is a question-based review book for physicians preparing for interventional cardiology board examinations. Edited by Debabrata Mukherjee, Richard A. Lange, Saurav Chatterjee, Leslie Cho and David J. Moliterno and published by LWW in 2018, this 608-page edition is built around practice questions rather than narrative chapters. Its purpose is simple: help you test your knowledge, find your gaps and review the explanations before exam day.

Who 1133 Questions is for

• Interventional cardiology fellows preparing for their certification examination.
• Practising interventional cardiologists preparing for recertification or wanting to check their knowledge.
• General cardiology fellows who plan to pursue an interventional fellowship and want early exposure to board-style questions.

A question book works best alongside a reference text. Read the relevant chapters of the Textbook of Interventional Cardiology when a topic keeps tripping you up, and follow our cardiology board review study plan to schedule both.

What the book contains

As the title states, this is a board review organised around questions on interventional cardiology. The publisher notes that this edition adds two new editors and hundreds of new questions compared with the previous edition, making it a comprehensive revision tool for the specialty.

About the 3rd Edition of 1133 Questions

This page offers the 3rd edition, published by LWW in August 2018 (ISBN-13 9781496386199). According to the publisher, it is a substantially updated edition, with new editors and new questions. Interventional cardiology changes quickly, however, so recent trials and guideline updates published after 2018 will not be reflected. Check the current examination blueprint and confirm which resources your programme recommends.

How to use a question bank effectively

The value of 1133 Questions depends on how you work through it:

1. Answer first, read second. Commit to an answer before looking at the explanation; guessing and then checking is what makes the learning stick.
2. Track your errors. Keep a simple log of questions you got wrong and the topic behind each one, then revisit those topics in a textbook.
3. Space your repetitions. Redo your missed questions after a few days and again after a few weeks. Our guide to active recall explains why this works.
4. Simulate the exam. In the final weeks, answer blocks of questions under timed conditions.

For certification requirements and examination information, refer to the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
