What does everyone recommend for a good, comprehensive course on interventional cardiology? I’m looking to also take the CCC.
Thanks for any insights!

For me, I just purchased the practice exams, a Vascular chart from amazon and took mini quizes through quizlet on cardiology there was also one coding quiz i took through either AMA or AHIMA for free and i found it to be very beneficial. I would also recommend knowing your guidelines in each area as well as your vascular families 
Best of luck to you!

In my opinion, the most important thing to learn is your catheter selection/vascular families and your coding guidelines (when it comes to the peripherals, the guidelines can get kind of tricky). I would focus on those, then branch out from there. Also, I would definitely order some anatomy cards to help with coding catheter selection (it will make a big difference, if you're a visual learner. It serves the same purpose as appendix L, but is in a picture format.) I LOVE PICTURES! Good Luck on your exam!

Thanks a lot for the replies and suggestions! I was looking at the AAPC study guide and practice exam. That may be the way to go. I def need to learn cardiology anatomy vessels and orders and all that. Seems a bit tricky but fun.
Thanks again! I am visual as well so I will hunt down some graphics.
