Pathology is one of the most tested subjects on the USMLE Step 1 exam. At the heart of the pathology questions on the USMLE exam is cardiovascular pathology. The challenge of cardiovascular pathology is that it requires students to be able to not only recall memorized facts about cardiovascular pathology but also thoroughly understand the intricate interplay between cardiovascular physiology and pathology. Understanding cardiovascular pathology will not only allow you to earn a high score on the USMLE Step 1 exam but it will also serve as the foundation of your future patient care.
