IMGuide PLAB 1 Anki Deck: free Cardiology sample

All 104 Cardiology notes (123 cards) from the full IMGuide PLAB 1 deck, free.

Try the deck before you buy it. These are the full deck's Cardiology cards, unchanged, with the same design, tags and figures, so you can see whether it suits the way you revise.

What's inside

• 104 notes, 123 cards: 95 question-and-answer cards and 9 cloze cards
• 83 notes tagged high-yield: the cardiology most likely to come up in PLAB 1
• 10 original ECG figures: AF, atrial flutter, anterior STEMI, ischaemia, pericarditis, LBBB, RBBB, Mobitz II, complete heart block and torsades de pointes. They were drawn for the deck from the diagnostic criteria, so they are illustrations, not patient recordings
• The source on every card. The back names the topic and, for 80 notes, the UK guidance it follows: NICE (heart failure, AF, ACS, hypertension, angina and more), Resuscitation Council UK, the BNF, the MHRA and the DVLA
• Built-in fonts and a night mode, so cards look the same on a laptop, a phone and AnkiWeb

How to use it

1. Open the .apkg file with Anki (Windows, Mac or Linux), AnkiDroid or AnkiMobile. It appears as IMGuide PLAB 1 (free sample).
2. Study about 25 new cards a day. At that pace you finish the sample in about five days.
3. Filter with the tags: IMGuide_PLAB::Cardiology (then a topic), IMGuide_PLAB::Yield::High and IMGuide_PLAB::Type::Figure.

Want the rest?

The full IMGuide PLAB 1 deck has 3,340 cards in 26 subdecks:

• every PLAB 1 specialty;
• a Presentations subdeck that starts from the symptom, the way PLAB question stems do;
• Orthopaedics and Ethics & Law.

It has 2,197 high-yield notes and 17 original figures.

The Cardiology cards are the same notes in both decks. When you import the full deck, it updates these cards instead of adding duplicates, and your progress on them is kept.
