There is a lot of material out there to read. Question is what to read your first year as a good foundation. I suggest Braunwald’s Heart Disease. It is by far the most complete text out there for anyone to read. There are also specialty texts out there for each sub-specialty (echo, nuclear, cath) but you can get into those texts later on in your training. There is no need to try and read everything out there on a particular rotation, just make sure you read something basic to get an understanding of things.
More importantly in the 1st year, make sure you are exceptional with your clinical decision-making. At the end of the day, no matter what or how much you read, if you cannot be a sound clinician then everything else does not really matter much.
