Description
Cardiology as other specialties meet it
The cardiology a nephrologist needs is not a smaller version of the cardiology a cardiologist needs — it is a different selection. So is the cardiology an intensivist needs, or a respiratory physician, or a surgeon assessing fitness for theatre. Standard references serve none of them well, because they are organised around the specialty rather than around the encounter.
These 1,500 notes across 35 chapters are organised the other way.
Where it is used
Members report three main uses: as a bench reference during clinics where cardiac questions arise unpredictably, as preparation for superspecialty entrance examinations that test exactly this cross-specialty material, and as a teaching resource for departmental sessions where the audience is mixed.
Note format
Single retrievable statements, one per line, with numerical thresholds given as numbers. It reads badly and looks things up extremely well, which is the correct trade for a reference consulted between patients.
Coverage across specialties
Cardiac problems arising in nephrology, endocrinology and diabetes, critical care, respiratory medicine, surgery and perioperative assessment, obstetrics, oncology, and rheumatology.
Suits
Physicians in any medical or surgical specialty other than cardiology, superspecialty entrance candidates, and general physicians covering unselected intake.
