Understanding the principles of cardiac anaesthesia has never been more relevant. Increasingly, co-morbid patients and complex cardiovascular disease are now managed in non-cardiac hospitals.

We have compiled the following resources to offer practical insights for anaesthetists caring for patients with heart disease across all settings. They cover a broad range of topics, from haemodynamic optimisation and myocardial injury to human factors, preoperative assessment, and maternal cardiac care. We hope you find them useful and engaging.

If you’d like us to feature resources from your subspecialty here, or have any other suggestions or feedback, please email us.
