The track this supports
Acute and Emergency Cardiology is our most simulation-heavy track. Modules run as timed scenarios — the patient deteriorates whether or not the learner has decided, which is the one feature of emergency practice that conventional teaching almost never reproduces.
Nine volumes support it, because a single emergency handbook cannot carry both the breadth the track covers and the operational detail a simulated resuscitation demands.
Why protocol-level detail matters here
In a timed scenario, “consider inotropic support” is not a usable instruction. The learner needs the agent, the dose, the line, the monitoring, and the point at which failure to respond means escalating rather than repeating. Each volume carries that level of specification, and our scenario debriefs mark against it.
Scenario blocks
The nine volumes drive four scenario blocks. The reperfusion block runs infarct scenarios from door to balloon, drilling the tracings that justify activating a lab and the ones that do not. The circulatory failure block covers pump failure severe enough to need pressors, devices or both, together with the arrest and post-arrest sequence. The rhythm block takes tachycardias and bradycardias in patients too unstable to investigate first. The structural and vascular block deals with dissection, effusion under pressure, crisis-level blood pressure, sudden valve failure, and the things that go wrong during a procedure.
Antithrombotic teaching runs through all four blocks at bedside grain: what to load and when, platelet reactivity testing where a service offers it, and how bleeding severity is graded when someone must decide whether to stop an agent.
Cohort and prerequisites
Open to emergency physicians, intensivists, coronary care nursing staff and cardiology trainees. The general cardiology foundation modules are a prerequisite for the simulation blocks; learners without them may take the reading and the didactic modules.
