Welcome to the Core Cardiology Podcast, your unofficial companion to the European Exam in Core Cardiology! Whether you're tackling tachycardias or brushing up on brady's, Dr Sam Williams is here to keep your morale high and your revision rhythm regular. You can expect a few laughs, a lot of learning, and maybe even a murmur of encouragement! Your revision starts here and success is just a heartbeat away!

This is mainly for cardiology trainees, but the practical point is broader than exam logistics. It makes revision follow the full guideline map rather than current subspecialty comfort, with imaging, angiography, and less familiar topics treated as blind spots to tackle early.

The episode makes high-level atrioventricular block a clear escalation point and reminds you that echocardiography is not the final diagnostic test when cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is needed.
