Cardiac anatomy

While preparing for the MRCP, it is important to spend ample time on basic sciences. These carry tremendous weight in the exam, and if you prepare well, you can score full marks! I know people who have done that, and it is the reason why they did not fail the exam by that ever so annoying '1 mark'!

Cardiac anatomy is simple, 4 chambers, 4 valves, 2 great arteries, 3 great veins. Simple. Pericardium lines the heart, and contains 30 ml or so of fluid to aid cardiac movement. Remember the valves, the muscles, chambers and finally all those elusive sinuses.

Make sure you give the right amount of importance to these subjects. Candidates tend to concentrate on all the specific subjects, but basic sciences is where you can nail it.

There are some great courses you can purchase online to revise. Try reading the textbooks that you did a while ago to revise, or subscribe to a course like this online - Click Here!

As always, all the very best!
