Cardiology Course - Master Heart Diseases and Treatments

Description

Understanding the cardiovascular system is crucial for every healthcare practitioner. This system is unique as you will see these diseases and conditions very often in your practice, and in your exams. These topics can be challenging to understand, but we will tackle this problem by discussing them bit by bit.

Important topics like acid-base balance, heart sound splitting, and Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system are favorites for exam makers. We will discuss them and help you understand them so you can memorize them easily.

We will also focus on heart murmurs and their properties. Such as the actions that accentuates or alleviates each murmur, the symptoms associated with each murmur, and the management options.

You will be comfortably familiar with the following topics:

· Aortic diseases (like aortic dissection, coarctation of the aorta, and aortic aneurysms).

· Indication and side effects of cardiotoxic medications.

· Antiarrhythmic classes.

· Heart pathologies.

· Management and types of Shock.

· Vascular diseases.

· Types of vasculitis.

· Pain management in patients with cardiac conditions.

· Hormones affecting the cardiovascular system.

· Blood tinners (aspirin, warfarin, heparin… etc)

· Medications that manipulate fluid levels (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBS, fludrocortisone… etc)

· Lipid-lowering agents (statins, fibrates, niacin… etc)

This course includes many quizzes focusing on the important notes that we discuss. Answering these quizzes after we have studied them will cement the high-yield topics in your memory and they will become natural knowledge to you.
