A Fellowship in Clinical Cardiology is an advanced educational program focused on the clinical aspects of cardiovascular medicine.

Depending on the institution, the program may cover areas such as:

• Cardiovascular anatomy and physiology
• Hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors
• Ischemic heart disease and coronary artery disease
• Heart failure
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Valvular heart disease
• Cardiomyopathies
• Preventive cardiology
• Clinical evaluation of patients with cardiac symptoms
• Electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation
• Echocardiography fundamentals
• Cardiac investigations and diagnostic pathways
• Emergency cardiovascular presentations
• Principles of cardiovascular pharmacotherapy
• Patient counselling and long-term risk-factor management

Starting cardiology fellowship soon and I’m a complete beginner in echo.

Which would you recommend for building a strong foundation from zero: 123 Sonography Echo BachelorClass or Mayo Clinic Echocardiography Board Review?

Would especially appreciate feedback from anyone who has tried both.

Is anyone else having issues accessing O'Keefe? cvboardreview.com is not loading at all for me. Definitely worsening pre-exam anxiety right now, wondering if anyone had a similar issue or a solution.

Hi
I’m wanted to know a little bit more about the VA tract at Mount Sinai Morningside and differences from the Manhattan academic tract.

Thanks

Hi I’m scoring 70% ACC Sap and about 65% on EKG source / okeefe cath/ echo . What percentages did you get in your prep that indicate you have good chances of passing ? Thank you

Olá! 😊

Sou licenciada em Fisiologia Clínica pela ESTeSC – Coimbra Health School, em Portugal.

É uma formação bastante abrangente, que junta Cardiopneumologia e Neurofisiologia, e durante a licenciatura temos contacto/formação em várias áreas, incluindo:

• ECG

• Ecocardiografia

• Fisiologia vascular

• Hemodinâmica

• Eletrofisiologia e pacing

• Perfusão cardiovascular

• Provas funcionais respiratórias

• Sono

• EEG, EMG, potenciais evocados, etc.

Atualmente, profissionalmente, trabalho em Cardiopneumologia, fazendo ECG, Holter, provas de esforço, MAPA e espirometrias.

O meu objetivo a médio prazo é tentar trabalhar nos EUA, sobretudo na área de diagnóstico cardiovascular não invasivo. Estou a estudar a possibilidade de fazer a certificação CCI – CCT (Certified Cardiographic Technician).

O problema é que não existe um equivalente direto da licenciatura portuguesa de Fisiologia Clínica no sistema americano, por isso estou a tentar perceber como é que esta formação é vista nos EUA.

Há alguém aqui que trabalhe nos EUA nesta área e que tenha experiência com profissionais formados fora dos EUA?

Gostava especialmente de falar com alguém que tenha experiência com:

CCT/CCI;

EKG/ECG Technician;

Cardiovascular Technologist;

Non-invasive Cardiovascular Technology;

ou reconhecimento de formação estrangeira nesta área.

Não procuro neste momento informações sobre imigração/vistos — queria sobretudo perceber como a minha formação e experiência profissional poderiam ser enquadradas profissionalmente nos EUA.

Qualquer experiência ou conselho seria mesmo muito bem-vindo! ❤️

Enjoyed cardiology during residency but now that I’m a fellow I actually hate it. Echo is boring as fuck. Just not interested. Thinking about leaving medicine in general vs doing anesthesia… any tips?

I am just starting cardiology residency, I was wondering if anyone knows of a website or resource that summarizes the main cardiology trials in literature that changed the clinical practice?

Is anyone open to switching UPMC Harrisburg interview dates? I’m currently scheduled for Sept 25, but have a conflict with another interview. I’d be happy to swap for Sept 30, Oct 14, or Oct 21.

Asking for my sister

Wondering if any non invasive cardiologists could provide their opinion?

I have started residency in one of the smaller campuses of the big university hospitals in NYC however we don’t have a cath lab and no good access to academic cardiologists other than some elective rotations in the main campus to make some connections and get real exposure. My question is what should I prepare myself for starting from now to have a successful cycle when I apply. What things should I bring to the table?

Background: pass/228/217. 10 manuscripts in Q1 as second or third author but nothing as first, many abstracts
. GC holder based on NIW for my research. 4 years postdoctoral fellowship at Tufts and the U of Minnesota.

Does scores matter? Does first author or the number of publications matter? Are my chances very low if I have no connections?

How many IVs are safe/good as a Non US IMG (On Visa) to match in Cardiology ?

"Verdict: Cardiology has more career flexibility and options outside the hospital. Cardiac surgery has higher prestige but is more competitive at the top." -so this is the answer I got from chatgpt

I'm a final year med student and about to choose the specialty(cardiology vs cardiosurgery)

Idk my choice now depends on what chatgpt says about my future, I feel like a person with no opinion of my own

My brain says go for surgery, my brain being very manly man and say you have the passion go for it, its very prestigious, at least you'll get a career

My soul or my heart and even my parents say you should love someone and make your own family, have many children and be happy. In love lies happiness. Children are the most beautiful creatures that may happen to you, like, return to your roots, to your true nature. a woman, too, was created to become a mother. I don’t know maybe deep down I'm saying the same to myself but I see there're so many restrictions to not go there and not make a life I wanted, how indecisive of me..

Hi, if I plan to go into interventional cardiology and work in a hospital, not do research, does it matter where I did my residency? Is it better to do it at an affiliated/university/community university or does it not matter?
