About this book
Braunwald’s Heart Disease Review and Assessment: A Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease 12th Edition PDF by Leonard S. Lilly is offered here as a PDF eBook. This twelfth-edition companion is designed specifically for cardiology review and self-assessment, with more than 700 updated multiple-choice questions and detailed explanations keyed to Braunwald’s Heart Disease, 12th Edition. The questions span the major areas of cardiovascular medicine, including patient evaluation, prevention, heart failure, arrhythmias, valvular and myocardial disease, pulmonary vascular disease and cardiovascular problems in special populations. Updated topics include new cardiology drugs and guidelines, imaging advances, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), global longitudinal strain, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, cardiac amyloidosis, antithrombotic therapy and precision-medicine developments. Its question-based format makes it especially useful for board preparation, structured revision and identifying gaps that require deeper reading in the main Braunwald text.
Designed for cardiology fellows, residents, cardiovascular specialists, and clinicians preparing for board examinations, this edition provides a structured resource for understanding the application and review of cardiology knowledge through questions and explanations.

About This Companion to Braunwald’s Heart Disease
Braunwald’s Heart Disease Review and Assessment is a question-based companion to the twelfth edition of Braunwald’s Heart Disease. Leonard S. Lilly presents multiple-choice questions with explanatory answers and references back to the main textbook. The format allows readers to examine the reasoning behind an answer and identify material needing further review. Edition coverage includes structural heart interventions, global longitudinal strain, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, anticoagulant reversal, cardiac amyloidosis, and lipid-lowering therapies. This is a cardiovascular review resource for advanced learners and practitioners, with a purpose distinct from reading the main textbook’s extended presentation of cardiovascular medicine.
Questions, Explanations, and Cardiovascular Topics
The 12th edition covers the following areas:
- Question-based review: More than 700 multiple-choice questions with explanations.
- Connections to the main textbook: Cross-references to the twelfth edition of Braunwald’s Heart Disease.
- Structural heart interventions: Coverage including transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
- Cardiovascular imaging: Topics including global longitudinal strain.
- Coronary disease topics: Coverage including spontaneous coronary artery dissection.
- Antithrombotic and lipid therapies: Review including direct oral anticoagulant reversal and lipid-lowering treatments.
- Cardiac amyloidosis: Therapeutic coverage within cardiovascular review.
- COVID-19 and cardiovascular medicine: Questions and content addressing the cardiovascular context of COVID-19.
Reviewing the Reasoning Behind a Cardiology Answer
The usefulness of this companion lies in the step between choosing an answer and understanding why it is appropriate. A missed question can reveal an uncertain concept, but the explanatory answer and connection to the main textbook provide a route for investigating that uncertainty. For advanced trainees, this makes the resource relevant to identifying gaps across cardiovascular medicine and discussing clinical reasoning during board preparation. It can also support teaching sessions in which participants explain competing choices and then consult a fuller reference. The question-based structure is best suited to readers who already have a cardiology foundation and want to examine how they apply it.
