The following Web sites are dedicated to Cardiac Medicine. These sites are useful for quick review of common Cardiovascular Diseases and their management; current "hot topics" in Cardiac Medicine, reviews of important cardiovascular research, and helpful management guidelines.

Cardiology

• Cardiosource (FREE registration allows limited access to MOST of the of the extensive data base on this site. Most primary care clinicians will find the the FREE content to be more than adequate for their information needs.)
• e-Medicine Cardiology (Identical in format to the better known WebMD e-medicine site but entirely dedicated to Cardiology. Extensive, searchable, updated database.)
• Family Practice Notebook Cardiology (Format is in traditional outline notations as would be scribed during a lecture. Information is concise, easy to navigate by topic and uses many internal hyperlinks to navigate to other notes within site. Great if you are looking for quick facts about a cardiology topic.)
• Lipids Online (Sponsored by Baylor College of Medicine this site comprehensively covers the topic of lipids impact on cardiac disease. The following are available: 1) Slide Library; downloadable Powerpoint presentations 2 ) Virtual Meetings; presentations by experts on dyslipidemias and atherosclerosis 3) Commentaries on Research; expert opinion on current research about dyslipidemias, atherosclerosis and lipid management.)
• Medscape Cardiology (Identical in format to the better known WebMD Medscape site but entirely dedicated to Cardiology Extensive, searchable, updated database.)
• The Heart.org (FREE registration allows access to this WebMD sponsored site dedicated to current hot topic research on cardiovascular disease. The site is updated frequently, comprehensive, easy to navigate. BONUS: many useful external links.)
