Aspirin and Antiplatelet Therapy

Abstract

This chapter presents multiple-choice question-and-answers on the topic of aspirin and antiplatelet therapy in cardiology. It is written for the primary purpose of helping candidates prepare for the American Board of Internal Medicine subspecialty certification. It will be very useful for those preparing for initial and recertification exams in Cardiology. Each of the questions is followed by few answers to choose from and the discussions address not only the rationale behind picking the right choice, but also fills in information around the topic so that important key concepts are clearly laid out. The questions address all areas of cardiology, some of which include: physical examination, ECG section with high resolution images, and non-invasive and invasive imaging.
