Management is the cornerstone of success in any high-stakes endeavor, and preparing for the DrNB Cardiology Final Examination is no exception. The true challenge for a cardiology trainee lies not in lack of knowledge, but in utilizing limited time and resources optimally, all while juggling the relentless demands of cath labs, OPDs, ward rounds, and emergencies.

Cardiology itself is an ocean—ever-expanding with new insights in imaging, interventions, therapeutics, and research. Attempting to master this vast discipline in its entirety before the exam is an impossible task. For exam preparation, the key is not covering everything, but achieving mastery in the high-yield, core syllabus areas most likely to be tested. This is precisely where the DrNB Cardiology Companion steps in as your essential preparation tool.

Designed by a fellow trainee who has navigated the same challenges, this book is not just another question bank but a strategic guide tailored for the NBEMS DrNB Cardiology theory exams. It provides comprehensive coverage of every question asked since 2011, meticulously compiled and organized by topic rather than year. Instead of endlessly hunting for old papers, you gain instant access to a decade of exam-tested content, smartly structured under key domains such as Ischemic Heart Disease, Heart Failure, Arrhythmias, Interventional Hardware, Preventive Cardiology, and more.

By highlighting recurring themes and examiner-favorite topics, this companion allows you to identify the highest-yield areas, saving countless hours and giving you confidence that your preparation is focused and impactful.
