** 2014: iMedical Apps Top 10 Medical Apps for Cardiology **

Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) are the most exhaustively studied clinical entities today. Advances in pharmacotherapy and procedural technique over the past thirty years have resulted in an explosion of clinical literature, which can be daunting and confusing for the caretaker of a patient with anginal symptoms.

ACS Trials brings you thorough and focused, MD-written summaries of over 80 seminal trials of ACS that have given rise to current practice. The easy-to-use interface and layout provide quickly accessible one-liner ‘soundbytes’ as well as deeper insights and historical context of important trials that have emerged during the evolution of ACS management.

Whether you’re a medical student whose attending is asking, “What’s the evidence for aspirin?”, a nurse practitioner wondering whether to continue the eptifibatide drip when the stent is already in place, a cardiology fellow who can’t remember the loading dose of ticagrelor, or a cath fellow making sure you’re right about bivalirudin before the interventionalist yells at you, ACS Trials is a must-have.

Each trial summary contains:
↝ One-liner Take Home Message
↝ Background, Historical Context, and Insights
↝ Trial design & length of follow-up
↝ Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria
↝ Methods, including dosing protocols, timing/duration of interventions, and relevant background medical therapies
↝ Baseline Patient Characteristics
↝ Results
↝ Funding sources
↝ Pertinent CC/AHA Guidelines
↝ References
↝ Direct links Full-Text manuscripts (if available)

**FAST & EASY TO FIND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR**
Trials are sortable by name, date of publication, subject, and drug name; can be filtered by patient populations enrolled (only STEMI, only UA/NSTEMI, or both); and are discoverable via a convenient search feature which indexes keywords, generic and brand drug names, and more.

**FREE MEDICAL CALCULATORS, courtesy of MEDIMATH**
30+ medical calculators useful for anyone who helps treat cardiac patients, including
↝ ACS (e.g., TIMI, GRACE, CRUSADE bleeding risk, contrast-induced nephropathy risk)
↝ Stress-testing (e.g., Duke treadmill score, target heart rate)
↝ Arrhythmias (e.g., CHADS2, calculated QTc)
↝ Lipids (e.g., calculated LDL, ATP III guidelines, Framingham cardiac risk)
↝ Hemodynamics (e.g., aortic valve continuity equations, Fick cardiac output)
↝ and MORE!!!
