🧠 Cardiology MCQ Bank & CME Materials
Access Dr Thirugnanam’s curated 1,000+ question bank designed for DM Cardiology, MRCP (UK), FSCAI, and international board examinations. Each question features detailed explanations, guideline references, and landmark trial citations. CME presentation slides and course handouts also available for institutional licensing.
What Doctors & Students Say
The CTO Masterclass changed how I approach chronic total occlusions entirely. The retrograde technique explanations with real case videos are unmatched anywhere in the literature.
World Cardiology Essentials is the only single book I recommend to all my trainees. The 140+ landmark trials index alone is worth it — it’s become an indispensable bedside reference.
I attended the Heart Failure Management course as a general physician. The SGLT2i and sacubitril modules were brilliantly explained with current evidence. Highly recommended for non-cardiologists too.
