      Hypertension- pathogenesis

      Hypertension- classification

      Hypertension- clinical presentation, complications

      Secondary hypertension- Malignant Hypertension-  Hypotension

    • The following videos explain the concepts of Hypertension and Atherosclerosis

    • Hypertension

      Atherosclerosis

    • Angina pectoris and Myocardial Infarction
      • The following are videos that explain both concepts, followed by an interactive video with interactive questions.
      • Angina pectoris results from myocardial ischemia caused by an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and oxygen demand.  
      • Acute myocardial infarction (MI) indicates irreversible myocardial injury resulting in necrosis of a significant portion of myocardium (generally >1 cm).


    • Angina and Silent ischemia 

      Myocardial infarction

      Complication of Myocardial infarction- compensatory mechanisms- comparisons (Angina  vs. MI)

    • Congestive Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock

      • The following is an interactive video that explains both concepts, with interactive questions.
      • Congestive heart failure, or heart failure, is a long-term condition in which your heart can’t pump blood. In contrast, cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition in which your heart suddenly can't pump. The heart won't pump enough in both conditions to meet your body’s needs.


    • Heart failure 

      Shock

    • Arrhythmia

      • The following is an interactive video that explains the concept of arrhythmia, with interactive questions.
      • Cardiac arrhythmias are significantly associated with increased risks of cardiovascular complications and sudden death.


    • Abnormalities of Cardiac Conduction- Arrhythmia Introduction

      Abnormalities of Cardiac Conduction- Arrhythmia - factors
