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.
