ACVIM Cardiology Reading List
“Listed books represent current resources that may cover similar content and thus may be redundant to each other. The candidate should be familiar with the relevant concepts covered in these books. Not all books in each subject area are necessary to adequately cover all concepts as outlined in the document formally known as the GIG…. In addition this list is not meant to exclude other resources that adequately address concepts as outlined in the GIG.
“Note: When more than one edition is available then the most current edition is listed but earlier editions are often current enough with respect to core concepts.”
