OBJECTIVE: To increase the offer of didactic resources for medical students, physicians, and health care professionals, stimulating the use of the Internet for academic purposes or cardiological updating. METHOD: Electronic addresses with academic content in the areas of anatomy, biophysics, physiology, semiology, electrocardiography, and image diagnosis were researched and selected. The selection criteria included the following: relevance of the content, neatness of presentation, and richness of animation resources. The sites obtained were classified in regard to their contents and academic level. RESULTS: The sites obtained were as follows: 5 sites of anatomy and anatomical pathology, one of biophysics, 3 of physiology, 8 of semiology, 7 of image diagnosis, and 2 of electrocardiography. The sites were also organized according to academic level to provide an alternative access. The set of addresses resulted in a simplified and hierarchic guide of contents for the study of cardiac morphology and image diagnosis in cardiology. CONCLUSION: The resulting list of sites is an example of the potential of the Internet as a learning instrument to be used in association with other conventional pedagogical methods.
