Overview

ULTRA P.A.S.S. Adult Echocardiography Registry Review Flashcards 6th Edition are designed based upon qualified requests from the medical community, expanding utilization of cardiac ultrasound, and laboratory accreditation/certification requirements.

The ULTRA P.A.S.S. Adult Echocardiography Flashcards contain 519 questions (including assorted images, diagrams and charts) designed after the actual registry format, and provides a method of final testing to determine the areas of weakness that may require further study, while at the same time reinforcing the material with which you are already comfortable. The physical decks measure 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 for convenient carrying, have space on each card for personal notes, and have two removable fastener rings to allow the decks to be shuffled to change question order.
