EECC Volume 1 - Imaging, Valves & Rhythm

EECC Volume 1 - Imaging, Valvular Heart Disease & Rhythm Disorders

Build the clinical interpretation skills that matter in the European Exam in Core Cardiology (EECC). This premium 255-page downloadable PDF eBook brings together updated, high-yield cardiology study notes, purposefully colour-coded explanations, embedded clinical and imaging insights, case-based reasoning, and exam-style single-best-answer questions. Written for cardiology trainees and physicians preparing for core cardiology examinations, it connects memorable findings with the investigation, risk assessment and management decision that follows.

What you will study

• Cardiac imaging and haemodynamics: transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography, Doppler assessment, stress and contrast imaging, strain, cardiac magnetic resonance, cardiac CT and nuclear imaging, with emphasis on choosing the right test and recognising measurement pitfalls.
• Valvular heart disease: aortic stenosis and regurgitation; primary and secondary mitral disease; tricuspid and pulmonary valves; prosthetic valves and infective endocarditis, with clinically relevant severity thresholds and intervention decisions.
• ECG and rhythm disorders: structured ECG interpretation, atrial fibrillation and flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, pre-excitation, bradycardia, atrioventricular block, ventricular arrhythmias and inherited electrical conditions.
• Devices and advanced clinical reasoning: pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, cardiac resynchronisation, syncope, cardiomyopathy imaging, adult congenital disease, pulmonary hypertension and critical cardiology imaging.
• Active exam preparation: embedded key notes, high-yield decision tables, illustrated interpretation points, clinical cases, worked examination-style questions and memorable diagnostic traps.

Premium learning designed for retention

Important clinical distinctions are presented with meaningful visual hierarchy: blue diagnostic clues, green management principles, red safety warnings, and yellow-highlighted thresholds and exam pearls. Clear, focused explanations help you move from identifying a finding to choosing the best next step, rather than memorising facts in isolation.
