Case based learning

BMJ Learning produces cardiology interactive case histories (ICHs) in association with Heart. These interactive modules are relevant to everyday clinical practice and complement the regular Education in Heart articles. Use these ICHs to learn as you are guided through a real life consultation, answering questions as you proceed. All Cardiology interactive case histories are hosted on BMJ Learning - the best available learning website for medical professionals from the BMJ Group. The ICHs can be accessed from their case based learning article on heart.bmj.com
