Study that fits around placements.

Work through one system while you rotate through it, fit in ten minutes between a clinic and the train home, or sit a longer block before an exam.

Around the rest of your week.

Before a placement block

Pick the system you’re about to rotate through and work in Tutor mode. After every answer you see why the right option holds and why each of the others fails. Free roam over the whole bank is on the free plan.

After a clinic or a shift

Open a clinical case and follow one patient from the door to follow-up, reading each real image before you are told what it shows. The debrief turns what you missed into Recall cards.

Before an exam

Switch to timed sessions in Exam mode, then use Recall and Gotchas to close the gaps. Timed custom sessions, and all of Recall and Gotchas, are part of the Student plan.

A question

Portable chest radiographMedcue question FS07
CardiovascularAcute care

A 72-year-old man is brought to a metropolitan emergency department with sudden, severe breathlessness that woke him from sleep two hours earlier. He has a history of hypertension and ischaemic heart disease. He is sitting bolt upright, distressed and diaphoretic, and can speak only in single words. His respiratory rate is 34 breaths/min, oxygen saturation is 86% on room air, heart rate is 112 beats/min and regular, and blood pressure is 198/112 mmHg. He is afebrile. Auscultation reveals widespread fine inspiratory crackles to the mid-zones bilaterally and an audible third heart sound; there is no wheeze. His jugular venous pressure is elevated. An electrocardiogram shows sinus tachycardia with left ventricular hypertrophy and no acute ischaemic changes, and his initial high-sensitivity troponin is mildly elevated. He is placed on high-flow oxygen. His portable chest radiograph is shown.

Which of the following is the most appropriate initial pharmacological management?

Answer a sample question

A Recall card

Post-ACS: is ARNI (sacubitril-valsartan) recommended for secondary prevention (2025 AU)?

Spoken explanation
  • STEMI for thrombolysis: which P2Y12 agent is used (not ticagrelor/prasugrel)?
  • Prasugrel: two patient groups to avoid it in (AU guideline)?

A Gotcha

Cardiovascular

ACS secondary prevention bundle

the 2025 Australian numbers and the beta-blocker / colchicine / ARNI shifts

  • LV impairment post-ACS → beta-blocker indicated
  • Preserved LV function, fully revascularised, on OMT → consider withholding beta-blocker (2025 shift)
  • Statin + ezetimibe insufficient → PCSK9 inhibitor (not just up-titrate statin)
  • LVEF ≤40% + HF → add MRA
  • ARNI not recommended post-ACS
