| Ever Since Hippocrates, medicine has been taught at the bedside. The
CARDIAX series takes you to the bedside with audio, digital images,
motion video, and text to teach fundamental principles of cardiac diagnosis.
Using authentic clinical materials in a problem based and highly interactive
format, CARDIAX guides you through the total diagnostic and management process. Our Main Objective: we hope that these problem-based exercises are going to help you sharpen your clinical skills and improve your clinical judgment. But the one overriding objective will be to demonstrate that the selection of all that expensive, complicated cardiovascular technology out there is firmly based in observations that you make at the bedside and in the examining room.
