  • Arrhythmias
  • Ischaemic heart disease
  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Cardiac arrest rhythms
  • Paced rhythms
  • ….and more, including electrolyte abnormalities

Learn to recognise key ECG diagnoses by working through our ECG cases. With our advanced platform, you can select ECGs based on ECG category (arrhythmias, cardiac arrest rhythms, ischaemic heart disease).

Blood test interpretation

Our blood test case collection covers all the common blood tests seen in clinical practice:

  • Full blood count
  • Urea & electrolytes
  • Liver function tests
  • Coagulation screen
  • Thyroid function tests
  • …and more, including troponin, D-dimer and hepatitis B serology

Each case includes a clinical scenario and a set of blood results

Radiology interpretation

Our radiology case collection includes chest X-rays (CXR), abdominal X-rays (AXR), musculoskeletal X-rays (MSK XR) and CT head images. It covers all common radiological cases seen in clinical practice.
