Approximately one-third of patients with an acute cardiac emergency conditions die without medical attention
within few hours of the onset of their first symptoms, and a large proportion of these deaths are due to potentially
reversible factors. A high percentage of these patients die before reaching the hospital.

Effective management of such patients can only be achieved by training the doctors in community resuscitation
schemes and prevention programs by special training and education in dealing with cardiac emergencies. In this
course we have concise and relevant evidence-based guidelines relating to the management of common
cardiac
emergencies for doctors working in cardiology units, general medical units, intensive care units and
related areas like accident and emergency departments.

Our attempt has been to provide better understanding and more effective learning by using
multimedia-based animations, videos and interactive drug tables.
