CathSource vs epTools

CathSource (from the creators of ECGsource) is an up-to-date medical reference devoted exclusively to cardiac catheterization and angiography. Developed by practicing Interventional Cardiologists for both specialists and trainees in the field of cardiovascular disease, CathSource offers the following content: * Searchable index of specialized topics including: Normal Coronary Anatomy Anomalous Coronary Arteries Coronary Artery Aneurysms Myocardial Bridging Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy Plaque Rupture & Thrombus Standard Views of Angiography Left Ventriculography Coarctation of the Aorta Femoral Artery Access for Angiography Radial Artery Access for Angiography Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) Hemodynamics: Intracardiac Pressures Hemodynamics: Intracardiac Waveforms Hemodynamics: Cardiac Output Hemodynamics: Intracardiac Shunts Hemodynamics: Aortic Stenosis Hemodynamcis: Aortic Regurgitation Hemodynamics: Mitral Stenosis Hemodynamcis: Mitral Regurgitation Hemodynamcis: Constriction Hemodynamics: Restriction * Searchable database containing more than 30 videos (coronary angiograms, ventriculograms, and aortograms) of both common and rare findings in the cardiac catheterization lab * Searchable database of over 65 images including hemodynamic formulas, tables, and figures CathSource provides a detailed overview of important cardiac catheterization and angiography topics, incorporating educational images/videos as well as reviews of pertinent medical literature. CathSource is the ideal application to assist you in understanding and recognizing cardiovascular pathology in the catheterization lab.

Trusted for over 15 years by heart rhythm professionals worldwide, epTools is a collection of useful tools for the evaluation of heart rhythm disorders. It is available on iPhone and iPad devices. Resources include algorithms used to localize arrhythmia substrates and reference guides to assist in the identification and, management of cardiac rhythm disorders and tools to calculate commonly used measurements and risk scores. Peer-reviewed algorithms are implemented by tools via an intuitive user interface. References are provided. Tools guide the user or AI through a series of questions to arrive at an answer while providing a graphical visualization of their progress and result of their analysis. Use of the save path to image feature allows users to save an image of the current decision path when using many of the decision analysis tools included. These images, which appear in the photo album, may be useful to communicate findings with colleagues.
