This book has useful information for learning material that you will need to know in the classroom on on your boards. That said, this book is riddled with errors. You have to be careful what you read, because there are typos on nearly every page.

The questions at the end of each chapter are moderately useful in asking about what you just read. However, the question blocks at the end of the book are atrociously bad. Many of the questions test your knowledge of concepts not presented in the book, so I suppose you can approach them as another learning opportunity, but as a question format they're not very helpful. One example: Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias that have been associated with hypersympathetic activity are most likely to arise from: A.

Right sided sympathetic fibers originating from T1-T4 B. Left sided sympathetic fibers originating from T2-T5 C. Left vagus nerve D and E are obviously wrong If you committed to memory the chart on page as you are supposed to for boards, see below you will remember that the spinal cord level associated with the heart is T1-T5.

There are 2 answer choices that fit that answer, and choice C is wrong because the vagus does parasympathetics.

So you may be inclined to put B since the heart is, after all, on the left side. Well, you would be wrong, according to Savarese, as he explains in the answer explanation: "Fibers originating on the right innervate the right heart and sinoatrial SA node Left sided sympathetic fibers innervate the AV node.

Very cute, but why didn't he include that information in the original text? He doesn't. Many of the questions end up this way, making for a frustrating exercise. The one most important thing in this book, as regards to the board exams, is the chart on page showing segmental sympathetic innervations. Since this chart is easily obtained from somewhere else, the value of buying this book is questionable at best. I suppose, looking back, that it might be worth it to get the book, if only just.

One thing going for this book is that it is a quick read; you can go through the whole thing at an easy pace in less than a week. Just heed my warnings about typos, errors, and the question blocks at the end are of dubious relevance. Cart Login. OMT Review Book.
