Fetal Echo Review

Test yourself before the ARDMS tests you! Fetal Echocardiography Review illuminates the facts and principles on which you will be tested, hones your test-taking skills, and reveals your strengths and weaknesses by exam topic. Based precisely on the Fetal Echo specialty exam outline published by ARDMS, this review contains 445 registry-like questions (including CME activity questions) together with answers, clear explanations, and quick references for further study. Image-based cases and schematic illustrations prepare you to tackle images, anatomy, and pathology on the exam. Coverage includes embryology, indications, incidence of congenital heart disease, timing of the fetal echo exam, standard sonographic views, normal anatomy and physiology, structural cardiac anomalies, dysrhythmias, acquired pathology, and other conditions—all in the same proportion as the exam itself. Fetal Echocardiography Review is very effective in combination with Ultrasound Physics Review: SPI Edition, by Cindy A. Owen, RT, RDMS, RVT, FSDMS, and James A. Zagzebski, PhD. Why are the Davies mock exams so popular and effective? Because they contain the same kinds of thought-provoking questions you will find on the exam!

Attention physicians: Fetal Echocardiography Review is also a very handy reference for fellows and residents in pediatric cardiology, maternal fetal medicine, radiology, obstetrics, and perinatalogy.
