Chaque item comprend les éléments systématiques suivants, mis à jour et enrichis : - les conférences de consensus, d'experts et les recommandations existantes ; - des schémas, des algorithmes et de l'iconographie ; - des encadrés sur les notions importantes ; - des repères permettant d'identifier les sujets déjà tombés au concours de l'internat et aux ECN (entre 1995 et 2009), clairement indiqués en regard du thème tombé avec leur date et un court résumé des Annales ; - des renvois transversaux vers les autres items du programme ; - les « zéros » aux questions ; - une « fiche Dernier tour » qui propose un résumé de l'item pour une révision complète et rapide de celui-ci. Exhaustive et parfaitement dans l'esprit des ECN, cette 2e édition est entièrement revue et mise à jour. Les myocardites y font l'objet d'un développement particulier.
