- The Heart in Pregnancy: Physiological and Pathological Changes, Diagnosis, Complications and Treatment
Today we're exploring one of the most fascinating and challenging areas of medicine: the heart in pregnancy. Pregnancy places an enormous load on the cardiovascular system. In most women, the heart adapts beautifully. But in women with heart disease, or in those who develop new problems during pregnancy, the consequences can be life-threatening for both mother and baby. Today we'll cover the normal physiological changes, the pathological conditions, how to diagnose them, the complications, and how to treat them safely.
Guest: Dr. A M Thirugnanam, MD, MSICP, FSCAI, Ph.D., Senior Interventional Cardiologist, author, educator and founder of the Academy of Elite Doctors.
Host: SamanthaCardiology Course FM is the station for doctors, students, nurses and everyone who looks after the heart.

46 min - The Secrets Never Told During Internship: Expert Diagnosis in Cardiology
Today's episode has a slightly mysterious title: the secrets nobody told us during internship. Every expert cardiologist carries a set of clinical pearls, habits and small tricks learned over decades at the bedside — things that aren't in the textbooks, rarely taught on ward rounds, and yet make the difference between an ordinary diagnosis and an expert one. Today, we're going to open that box.

45 min - The Missed Diagnosis: Why We Miss Important Diagnoses and How to Fix the Blunder
Today we're talking about something every clinician has experienced, but few like to admit: the missed diagnosis. The heart attack labelled as gastritis, the aortic dissection sent home as back pain, the pulmonary embolism treated as anxiety, and the rare disease that went unrecognised for years. Why do good doctors miss important diagnoses, sometimes rarely and sometimes more often than we think, and how can we fix the diagnostic blunder?

45 min - Why Doctors Below 50 Are Dying of Massive Heart Attacks: Causes, Prevention and Self-Protection
Today's episode is personal for everyone in our profession. Again and again, we hear heartbreaking news of young doctors — in their thirties and forties — collapsing with a massive heart attack, sometimes in the hospital, sometimes in the gym, sometimes at home after a night shift. Why is this happening to the very people who treat heart disease? What are the causes, and how can doctors protect themselves?

46 min - Medical Negligence: How to Avoid It, Handle It and Face It
Today's topic is one that worries almost every clinician, though few talk about it openly: medical negligence. What exactly is negligence, and how is it different from a complication? How can doctors, nurses and hospitals avoid it, and how should we respond when something goes wrong, when a family is angry, or when a legal notice arrives?

45 min - Antibiotic Resistance: Prevention, Stewardship and Solutions to a Global Menace
Today we step a little beyond cardiology, into a threat that touches every ward, every intensive care unit and every catheterisation laboratory in the world: antibiotic resistance. How did we get here, why is it called a silent pandemic, and most importantly, what can each one of us do to prevent it and stop it?

47 min - Mastering Bedside Evaluation in Cardiology
In an earlier episode, we explored the art of auscultation. Today we widen the lens to the complete bedside evaluation in cardiology — from the first words of the history, to the hands, the face, the pulse, the jugular veins, the precordium, the lungs, the abdomen and the legs — and how to put it all together into a confident diagnosis before a single test is ordered. It's a skill that every student, resident, physician, nurse and cardiologist can master.

46 min - Managing Pulmonary Embolism With and Without Shock — ER, ICCU, Latest Guidelines and Interventional Procedures
Today's topic is one of the great masqueraders of medicine — a condition that can look like a heart attack, pneumonia, a panic attack, or simply unexplained breathlessness, and that can kill within hours if missed: acute pulmonary embolism. We'll discuss how to diagnose it, how to stratify the risk, how to manage patients with and without shock, and the growing role of catheter-based interventional procedures — in the emergency room, the ICCU and the catheterisation laboratory.

47 min - Managing STEMI with Cardiogenic Shock — in the ER, the Cath Lab and the ICCU, with the Latest Guidelines
In a recent episode we discussed cardiogenic shock in general. Today we focus on the single most dramatic and time-critical scenario in interventional cardiology: an ST-elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. A patient with a blocked coronary artery, a failing heart, a falling blood pressure — and minutes that decide life or death. We'll follow this patient from the emergency room, into the catheterisation laboratory, and on to the intensive coronary care unit, with the latest evidence and guidelines at every step.

47 min - Managing Sepsis and Septic Shock in the ER and ICCU — Latest Guidelines
In our last episode we discussed cardiogenic shock. Today we turn to the commonest type of shock in emergency rooms and intensive care units across the world: sepsis and septic shock. Sepsis affects tens of millions of people every year and causes around one in five deaths worldwide. And it's a cardiology problem too — infections trigger heart attacks, arrhythmias and heart failure, and patients in our coronary care units are vulnerable to infection. How should we recognise sepsis, resuscitate the patient, and manage them in the ICCU, according to the latest evidence and guidelines?
