PREFACE
Review and Assessment is a comprehensive study guide designed to accompany the ninth edition of Braunwald s Heart Disease: A Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine , edited by Dr. Robert O. Bonow, Dr. Douglas L. Mann, Dr. Douglas P. Zipes, and Dr. Peter Libby. It consists of 706 questions that address key topics in the broad field of cardiovascular disease. A detailed answer is provided for each question, often comprising a mini-review of the subject matter. Each answer refers to specific pages, tables, and figures in Braunwald s Heart Disease and in most cases to additional pertinent citations. Topics of greatest clinical relevance are emphasized, and subjects of particular importance are intentionally reiterated in subsequent questions for reinforcement.
Review and Assessment is intended primarily for cardiology fellows, practicing cardiologists, internists, advanced medical residents, and other professionals wishing to review contemporary cardiovascular medicine in detail. The subject matter and structure are suitable to help prepare for the Subspecialty Examination in Cardiovascular Disease offered by the American Board of Internal Medicine.
All questions and answers in this book were designed specifically for this edition of Review and Assessment . I am grateful for the contributions by my colleagues at Brigham and Women s Hospital who expertly authored new questions and updated material carried forward from the previous edition: Dr. Marc Bonaca, Dr. Akshay Desai, Dr. Neal Lakdawala, Dr. Amy Miller, Dr. Fidencio Salda a, Dr. Garrick Stewart, and Dr. Neil Wimmer. We are very appreciative to Dr. Sara Partington and Dr. Swathy Kolli for submitting many of the new noninvasive images and to the following colleagues who provided additional graphics or support to this edition: Dr. Ron Blankstein, Dr. Sharmila Dorbala, Dr. Eric Green, Dr. Raymond Kwong, and Dr. Saurabh Rohatgi. We also acknowledge and thank the Brigham and Women s Hospital team of cardiac ultrasonographers, led by Jose Rivero, who expertly obtained and alerted us to many of the images that appear in this book.
It has been a pleasure to work with the editorial and production departments of our publisher, Elsevier, Inc. Specifically, I thank Ms. Natasha Andjelkovic, Ms. Dolores Meloni, Ms. Angela Rufino, and Mr. John Casey for their expertise and professionalism in the preparation of this edition of Review and Assessment .
Finally, and as always, I am very grateful to each member of my family for their support and patience during the often-long hours required to prepare this text.
On behalf of the contributors, I hope that you find this book a useful guide in your review of cardiovascular medicine.

DIRECTIONS: For each question below, select the ONE BEST response.
QUESTION 1
A 54-year-old African-American man with a history of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia undergoes a treadmill exercise test using the standard Bruce protocol. He stops at 11 minutes 14 seconds because of fatigue, at a peak heart rate of 152 beats/min and peak systolic blood pressure of 200 mm Hg. The diastolic blood pressure declines by 5 mm Hg during exercise. During recovery, the systolic blood pressure decreases to 15 mm Hg below his pre-exercise pressure. There are no ischemic changes on the ECG during or after exercise. Which of the following is correct?
A. His peak systolic blood pressure during exercise exceeds that normally observed
B. The change in diastolic blood pressure during exercise is indicative of significant coronary artery disease
C. This test is nondiagnostic owing to an inadequate peak heart rate
D. These results are consistent with a low prognostic risk of a coronary event
E. The postexercise reduction in systolic blood pressure is suggestive of severe coronary artery disease
QUESTION 2
When present, each of the following heart sounds occurs shortly after S 2 EXCEPT:
A. Opening snap
B. Third heart sound
C. Ejection click
D. Tumor plop
E. Pericardial knock
QUESTION 3
A state-of-the-art blood test has been developed for the rapid, noninvasive diagn
