Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Online Board Review 2026

Mayo Clinic’s Cardiovascular Online Board Review provides a broad review of cardiology for certification, recertification and clinical practice. The curriculum moves through arrhythmias, coronary disease, heart failure, valve disorders, congenital disease and vascular medicine, with an Echo Focus component and examination-coding topics. The listed material also includes Chalk Talks and additional learning titles in genetics, imaging and other cardiovascular subjects. Released October 5, 2026, the original program was designed for cardiologists, fellows and other clinicians seeking a structured review. The complete supplied topic catalog below retains lecture titles and faculty rather than repeating an expanded explanation of each topic.

Package scope: The topic catalog lists 56 core/Echo entries, 15 Chalk Talks and 20 supplementary titles; their exact correspondence to the 2026 files has not been confirmed. They are not verified video counts. The personalized Mayo portal, assessments, 18-month publisher access and MOC points are not included.

Official Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the original Mayo Clinic activity, participants should be better able to:

1. Describe the etiology of restrictive cardiomyopathies and apply this knowledge to patient diagnosis and management.
2. Recognize and diagnose venous thromboembolism using diagnostic strategies based on clinical pretest probability.
3. Identify cardiovascular risk factors in patients without established coronary artery disease.
4. Classify antiarrhythmic medications according to their mechanisms of action.
5. Explain the physiological cardiovascular changes associated with pregnancy.

Clinical Disclaimer: Participation in the original Mayo Clinic course does not establish or guarantee proficiency in any medical procedure discussed or demonstrated.
