Cardio Ex

I love the new updates, CME cases, and more! At first i used this to understand more CCT procedures but now I’m using it to further embed my knowledge of my current CRMS courses! Very great cardiac games, the cases come filled with knowledge, and very interactive! I can’t wait to continue learning so i can start trying the IV cases. 10/10 study material & it’s fun!

Love the game. Absolutely infuriating that i am forced to click things and it constantly takes away control to highlight things.

Thank you for making this game. So much fun with learning.

I love this game for its creative gaming design, and I am critically impressed that this game is free. I love all of the different simulations, but I have a special fondness for the diagnosis scenario, being the simulation I use most. I work as an AEMT, and find CardioEx to be an excellent practice in critical thinking and applying knowledge to real life situations. I find as well that by researching conditions featured in this game, I am more easily able to treat calls that might otherwise seem like nonsense with the gravity they deserve. Best of all, this makes educational tools into games (FOR FREE I MIGHT ADD), so I am able to study in my strongest learning style.

i am a highschooler who is interested in medicine and this app is amazing! This app is better than any other video game put there. All i ask is that level ex makes more levels because i am running out of levels. Over if you are interested in a future in medicine this is a great app to get. also playing this game with an anatomy book helps memorize all of the terms. p.s. nuero ex? brain surgery? maybe thats the next one????

The graphics, music and content are mind blowing I absolutely love this game! The educational component are going to help me learn an amazing amount! Thank you!

The idea and platform for this game are great, but it does not simulate what I would do in real life practice. As an example, I would not get a transesophageal echocardiogram as part of routine diagnosis for HFrEF. It would be great if the referenced information for each case can be a bit more detailed as well. For the case on hypertriglyceridemia, we give the patient icosapent ethyl until they are optimized, but nothing in the references even mention the REDUCE-IT trial. If these cases can be more robustly designed, this could be a fantastic learning tool.

I have very little training in the medical field but during my time in massage therapy school, we learned all about the human anatomy. My favorite section was the heart. This is way more interesting and intense than I thought.

Extremely high quality, can’t believe it is free!

This app is such a great idea & fun learning tool! The only thing it’s missing is something even the NBME neglects: answer explanations! For example, in the treatment tutorial, you can choose to use statin+fish oil, or statin+icosapent ethyl. i tried the fish oil first but it barely responded, so i tried the icosapent & it helped. the problem there for learning? just trial & error. would be nice if at the end of the case it showed you treatment guidelines(per USPSTF?), so you know what your steps should have been. would also help to have scoring reflect whether you chose the right sequence of interventions. random example: if it was a micro case & i went straight to vancomycin when i should have tried a penicillin first, i shouldn’t win just because the bug died either way. i should at least get less points, or something. same with the diagnosis cases. if i do an echo before i ask for past history... i should be somehow punished. LOL great work otherwise, guys. OH! Unless I missed it, there’s no way to just hit “diagnose” when i know what it is. i shouldn’t have to keep eliminating if i know the condition. could give extra points for knowing without needing to eliminate to 1, and penalties for choosing the wrong diagnosis.
