Clinical Cardiology and Procedures
Bridge the gap between cardiac physiology and clinical intervention. Learn how cardiologists decode diagnostic tests, make high-stakes procedural decisions in the cath lab, and deploy targeted therapies for structural and electrical heart disease.
Like Duolingo, but for Clinical Cardiology and Procedures. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
A short one: 12 levels across 2 sections, about 24 minutes end to end, roughly 5 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Ischemia and Cath Lab Interventions and Structural Repairs and Rhythm Management. It assumes you already know the basics.

Key ideas in Clinical Cardiology and Procedures
- ST-elevation mandates immediate catheterization lab activation for emergent reperfusion.
- Non-ST-elevation ACS requires clinical risk scoring and serial troponins rather than instant lab activation.
- Awaiting biomarker results before reperfusing a STEMI causes irreversible myocardial death.
- Anterior leads V1–V4 view the anterior wall perfused by the left anterior descending artery.
- Inferior leads II, III, and aVF map myocardial injury to the right coronary artery in most people.
- Lateral leads I, aVL, V5, and V6 reflect perfusion territory supplied by the left circumflex artery.
- Acute infarction requires demonstrating a dynamic rise or fall above reference limits over 1 to 3 hours.
- A static, non-changing elevated troponin indicates chronic myocardial injury rather than acute thrombosis.
- High-sensitivity troponin assays detect minute baseline elevations seen in chronic kidney or heart failure.
- Primary percutaneous coronary intervention guidelines establish a door-to-balloon target under 90 minutes.
- Myocardial necrosis accelerates drastically with each 30-minute delay after symptom onset.
- Ischemic myocardium salvage falls precipitously when coronary reperfusion exceeds the 90-minute mark.
- Dual antiplatelet therapy combines aspirin with a P2Y12 inhibitor to block platelet aggregation pathways.
- Parenteral anticoagulation with heparin inactivates thrombin to halt further clot formation.
- Antithrombotic therapy stabilizes the acute coronary lesion before mechanical wires cross the stenosis.
- Contrast fluoroscopy outlines the coronary lumen to reveal diameter narrowing.

Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Clinical Cardiology and Procedures the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
Picture a second patient with chest pain, but their ECG shows ST depression instead of elevation. What is your next move?
