Reviews
Great app from a Flight Paramedic!

I may not be a cardiac nurse, cardiologist, Cardiothoracic surgeon or Doctor but I do have experience and work as a flight paramedic and deal with many different patients and scenarios across the board! I think it’s a great, informative and educative app that allows learning through trial and error as well as fun. Also provides great explanations and case summaries! I love it!
Learning Can be Fun!

Cardio Ex is absolutely amazing, I haven’t played the others but I’m sure they’re great as well. I wish there were more game specialties from this developer.
Not a professional but...

I don’t understand a single word of it but the artwork and animation is beautiful and completely smooth.
Excellent! One request

Awesome game. I love it!! Great cases, info, and learning opportunity. The diagnostic cases are my favorite!! I have one request. Would you consider giving ekg results in visible form? I think that would be a excellent and helpful addition. Keep up the good work :)
Awesome, just needs one thing

This app is such a great idea & fun learning tool! The only thing it’s missing is something even the NBME neglects: answer explanations! For example, in the treatment tutorial, you can choose to use statin+fish oil, or statin+icosapent ethyl. i tried the fish oil first but it barely responded, so i tried the icosapent & it helped. the problem there for learning? just trial & error. would be nice if at the end of the case it showed you treatment guidelines(per USPSTF?), so you know what your steps should have been. would also help to have scoring reflect whether you chose the right sequence of interventions. random example: if it was a micro case & i went straight to vancomycin when i should have tried a penicillin first, i shouldn’t win just because the bug died either way. i should at least get less points, or something. same with the diagnosis cases. if i do an echo before i ask for past history... i should be somehow punished. LOL great work otherwise, guys. OH! Unless I missed it, there’s no way to just hit “diagnose” when i know what it is. i shouldn’t have to keep eliminating if i know the condition. could give extra points for knowing without needing to eliminate to 1, and penalties for choosing the wrong diagnosis.
Causes Overheating

This app is really fun to play and very helpful to those looking for a career in cardiology however after playing for just ten minutes, I noticed my phone was getting overheated. You can’t play this game without your Iphone getting overheated. My speakers are now fried and I’m going to have to get a new phone. Do not play this game.
The update is ???

The beast update brings so much awesome content to the game. Treatment, Diagnosis, PCI along with daily rewards that will keep you coming back! It’s so much more satisfying and rewarding and It feels like an actual mobile game. There’s nothing out there like it.

Need to play more if you can incorporate imaging (Ivus or oct). Need to emphasize good pci technique.
Great practice

Very interesting concept with lots of prospective future innovations. Misses out on the tactile stimulus and hemodynamic management with advanced ventricular support devices. Would also be great to have vascular access pre/post management, RHC/Swan and vascular closure devices.
