New titles are added to the Academy reading list when a subject has moved far enough that existing material no longer answers the question a clinician is actually asking. That happens unevenly — some areas of cardiology are stable for a decade, others change twice in a year. These are the most recent additions.
Recent releases
Cardiac Sarcoidosis and Rare Autoimmune Heart Conditions
The conditions that are missed because they are not thought of: cardiac sarcoid presenting as heart block in a young patient, myocarditis in systemic autoimmune disease, and the imaging that settles the question. Written because these diagnoses are far more often late than wrong.
GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs — the hidden micronutrient problem
Cardiovascular benefit is now established, but the metabolic consequences of sustained appetite suppression are not yet routinely monitored. What to check, when, and in whom.
AI in Cardiology — diagnosis, care and management
Where machine interpretation is already better than a general reader, where it is not, and how to supervise a tool whose reasoning you cannot inspect. Written for clinicians who will be given these systems rather than choose them.
Cardio-Obstetrics — cardiology in women
Pregnancy as a cardiovascular stress test, peripartum cardiomyopathy, valve disease in pregnancy, and the risk that a hypertensive pregnancy signals for the decades afterwards. Aimed at obstetric as well as cardiology practice.
Climate Change and Cardiovascular Disease
Heat, air pollution and environmental stress as measurable cardiovascular risk factors, and what the evidence actually asks of a clinic rather than of a policymaker.
Geriatric Cardiology — from frailty to tertiary care
Where the trial evidence stops applying, how frailty changes the risk-benefit of intervention, and the deprescribing decisions that are harder than the prescribing ones.
Broken Heart Syndrome — Takotsubo cardiomyopathy
A diagnosis made far more often than it used to be, and still frequently confused with anterior infarction at presentation. The features that distinguish them and the course that follows.
Before the Blockage — preventing heart disease early
Subclinical atherosclerosis: who to image, what a calcium score changes, and how to have the conversation with a patient who feels entirely well.
Being told about new titles
New releases are announced to Academy members first. Membership also carries priority CME registration and access to the course programme. Anyone can start with the free reference downloads.
The complete catalogue is at the Academy reading list; the titles clinicians buy most often are on the best sellers page; and multi-title sets are cheaper through the collections.
