Awesome Emergency Medicine and Critical Care (AEMCC) This week's AEMCC email is all about cardiac emergency and critical care. The M1s are learning about cardiac physiology and the M2s are just getting into reading ECGs. Here are some great articles from the academic literature, podcasts, blogs, and more...
