Volume 2: General Chronic Disease and Cardiology from 2MM™ The Classics In Medicine

The Classics in Medicine series by 2 Minute Medicine is back on MedShr Learning, with 14 bite-size modules covering landmark trials in General Chronic Disease and Cardiology. Each module is built on foundation of high-quality research, providing actionable and evidence-based knowledge essential to every physician and healthcare professional. 

In this volume, landmark trials on heart failure, the CHADS2 score and acute myocardial infarction. Each module is built on a foundation of high-quality research, so you’re gaining more than just information—you’re gaining actionable, evidence-based knowledge. 
With contributions from renowned medical faculty and practicing physicians at top institutions, this chapter is an indispensable tool for the practicing physician or trainee. Some landmark trials included in this chapter are the HOT trial: Diastolic blood pressure targets in hypertension; the REMATCH trial: Left ventricular assist devices reduce mortality in heart failure; and the ACTIVE trial: Dual antiplatelet therapy in atrial fibrillation.

The remaining chapters from the textbook edition are organized into Classics by Specialty and includes trials from the following fields: General Chronic Disease and Cardiology, Critical and Emergent Care, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hematology and Oncology, Imaging, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Neurology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Pulmonology, Surgery, and COVID-19.
