pediatric pda application in clinical practice pediatricians find categorized reviews of handheld software and programs that are useful in bedside pediatrics this page is about cardiac calculators

Among other tools provided in the black box (med tools) of Epocrates comes the
Cardiomath.
This is collection of cardiac calculators is unabridged with all the formulas that a
cardiologist (including pediatric cardiologists) may ever think of.
The tool is not developed by Epocrates, it is developed by Cardiomath and can
be downloaded as a stand alone Palm OS product from there, see screenshot.
The Epocrates team should learn from this tool is that they are missing the unit
converters in their Essentials package as there are only cardiology related unit
converters incorporated in this collection.
This review is also categorized in the Calculators & Tools category.

The calculators classified in
categories where all cardiology
related formulas are included even
those from general medicine (all of
them are also there in medmath),
units conversions, and epidemiology.

On the Left we see three
examples of those calculators
with the same Epocrates user
friendly interface and appropriate
information page about the formula
and references.
