About Cardiology Academia
What is Cardiology Academia?
Cardiology Academia is an academic association for physicians and healthcare professionals in cardiovascular medicine. We hold an academic meeting every month and keep a library of the lectures, slides and cases from those meetings.
Who is the website for?
Practising physicians, cardiologists, postgraduates and other healthcare professionals. The content is educational and written for clinicians.
Do I need an account to use the website?
No. There is no sign-up or password. The only form you will see is a short one the first time you watch a recorded lecture on a device.
Academic meetings
When are the academic meetings held?
Academic meetings are held on the last Sunday of every month, in person, online or both. Each meeting page shows the date, time, venue, programme and faculty.
How do I register for a meeting?
Open the meeting page and fill in the short registration form. You will see a reference number on screen once you are registered.
How do I join a meeting online?
For online and hybrid meetings, a Join online button appears on the meeting page on the day of the meeting.
Can I add a meeting to my calendar?
Yes. Every upcoming meeting has an Add to calendar button for Google Calendar, and a calendar file for Apple Calendar and Outlook.
Can I request a session at my hospital or in my city?
Yes. Tell us the topic, the audience and your preferred date, and the academic committee will get in touch.
Library and videos
Why is there a form before a recorded lecture?
The lectures are meant for healthcare professionals. The form asks for your name, mobile, email, speciality and city, and appears only once on each device. It helps us understand which lectures are most useful, and if you agree, lets us tell you about future meetings.
Do slides and guideline summaries need the form?
No. Presentations, guideline summaries, case discussions and infographics open straight away. Only recorded lectures ask for the short form.
Can I download the slides?
Yes, where the faculty has shared them. Open the presentation and use the Download button.
How do I save something for later?
Tap the heart icon on any lecture, presentation, article or meeting. Saved items are kept on your device and listed under the heart icon at the top of every page.
Tools and calculators
Can I rely on the calculators?
Each calculator uses the published formula and lists its references and how to read the result. Where a calculator has been reviewed, the reviewer is named on the page. The results support, and never replace, clinical judgement.
Is what I type into a calculator stored?
No. Calculations happen in your browser. Nothing you type into a calculator is sent to us or saved.
Speakers and faculty
How can I become a speaker?
Fill in the short application with the topics you would like to present. The academic committee reviews every application and will contact you to plan the session.
Can I suggest a topic for a future meeting?
Yes. Suggest it through the Request a session form, or from any topic page that has no sessions yet.
Membership
Who can become a member?
Registered medical practitioners, cardiologists and postgraduates in medicine. Membership types are listed on the Membership page.
How do I become a member?
Fill in the application on the Membership page. The committee reviews it and contacts you about the fee and next steps.
Can I attend meetings without being a member?
Yes. Academic meetings and the library are open to healthcare professionals. Membership adds priority registration and a voice in the programme.
Privacy
How is my information used?
