Description
This comprehensive set of books is designed to cater to the academic and clinical needs of postgraduate students specializing in cardiology (DM and DrNB). The series is divided into three volumes, corresponding to the three papers of the cardiology theory exams. Each volume delves deeply into core topics, presenting them in a question-and-answer format, aiding in conceptual clarity, clinical application, and exam preparation. (3 Books)
Volume 1: Paper 1
Focus Area: Basic and Fundamental Cardiology
- Key Topics:
- Anatomy and Physiology of the Heart: Detailed exploration of cardiac structure, conduction systems, and functional mechanics.
- Pathophysiology: Molecular biology, genetic insights, and mechanisms behind common cardiac diseases.
- Diagnostic Tools: Fundamentals of ECG interpretation, echocardiography, advanced imaging (CT, MRI, nuclear cardiology).
- Coronary Artery Disease: Risk factors, acute coronary syndromes, chronic angina, and management strategies.
- Heart Failure: Pathophysiology, classifications (HFrEF, HFpEF), and pharmacological/device-based treatment.
Learning Outcomes:
- Establish a solid foundation in cardiology.
- Master the diagnostic tools and scientific principles underlying cardiovascular conditions.
Volume 2: Paper 2
Focus Area: Clinical Cardiology
- Key Topics:
- Valvular Heart Diseases: Etiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, and surgical/interventional options.
- Congenital Heart Diseases: Management of cyanotic and acyanotic conditions in both pediatric and adult populations.
- Hypertension: Systemic and pulmonary hypertension, complications, and therapeutic strategies.
- Arrhythmias: Supraventricular, ventricular arrhythmias, ablation techniques, and device therapies.
- Infective and Inflammatory Cardiac Disorders: Infective endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis, and immune-mediated conditions.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the clinical presentations and management strategies of common and rare cardiac conditions.
- Integrate diagnostic findings with therapeutic decisions in clinical practice.
Volume 3: Paper 3
Focus Area: Advanced and Preventive Cardiology
- Key Topics:
- Interventional Cardiology: Techniques in coronary angioplasty, structural heart interventions, and handling complications.
- Heart Transplantation: Pre-operative evaluation, post-transplant care, and mechanical circulatory support (LVAD, ECMO).
- Preventive Cardiology: Lifestyle modifications, risk factor management, and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
- Cardio-Oncology: Cardiotoxicity of cancer therapies, monitoring, and treatment.
- Miscellaneous Topics:
- Cardiac manifestations of systemic diseases.
- Geriatric cardiology and women’s cardiovascular health.
- Recent advances in cardiology, including clinical trials and innovations.
