“Love this resource! It's been a great tool to have on the general wards to help my patients and impress my attendings. When I was completing my cardiology rotation at John Peter Smith hospital, we had a patient with suspected Takutsobo's Cardiomyopathy. My research on ClinicalKey AI helped me inform my diagnosis and guide management to help get this patient back up and running."
