Description

The Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review, 3rd Edition, is a comprehensive review book for physicians preparing for cardiology board examinations. Edited by Brian P. Griffin, Samir R. Kapadia and Venu Menon and published by LWW (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins) in December 2021, this roughly 1,000-page volume combines review chapters with board-style questions and answers. It is designed to help you revise the whole specialty in a structured way and test yourself as you go.

Who the Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review is for

• Cardiology fellows in the final year of training preparing for the cardiovascular disease board examination.
• Practising cardiologists preparing for recertification.
• Internal medicine physicians who want a thorough, structured review of cardiology.

A review book works best within a plan. Our cardiology board review study plan explains how to split your preparation between reading, questions and revision weeks.

What the book covers

As a cardiology board review, the book aims to cover the full scope of the specialty tested in board examinations, from clinical cardiology to diagnostic tests and therapies. Review chapters are paired with questions and answers so that you can check your understanding after each topic. This combination is what distinguishes the Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review from a standard textbook: it is built for revision, with every topic leading directly to practice, rather than for first-time learning.

About the 3rd Edition

This page offers the 3rd edition, published by LWW in December 2021 (ISBN-13 9781496399182). Editions of the Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review are revised over time, and this one reflects the evidence and guidelines available when it was prepared. Developments published after 2021 will not be included, so check recent guideline updates and the current examination blueprint, and confirm which edition your programme recommends.

How to study with a board review

A structured approach gets the most out of the Cleveland Clinic Cardiology Board Review:

1. Read, then question. Study a chapter, then answer the related questions without notes before checking the explanations.
2. Log your errors by topic. Note which areas generate the most mistakes and schedule extra time for them, using a clinical text such as Current Diagnosis & Treatment Cardiology for depth.
3. Revisit with spacing. Return to missed questions after a few days, then again closer to the exam; our guide to active recall explains the method.
4. Finish with timed blocks. In the final weeks, practise questions under exam-like time pressure.

For official certification requirements and exam information, see the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
