Hello and welcome to the zero to finals podcast.

My name is Tom and this episode is the first in a series of short answer question podcasts covering medicine.

In this series we're going to be covering the whole of the zero to finals medicine content in question form, starting with cardiology.

If you find these questions helpful, you can find

these questions, plus many more multiple choice questions, extended matching questions and digital

flashcards, and other resources at members.0.0.5.com. The member site helps you track all your learning and your question scores so that you know

content at any stage of medical school or for postgraduate exams.

It costs £9.60 a month and you can cancel at any time. So why not head over there now? Give it a try for a month and see what you think.
