Common Rounds

Much apologies for the lapse in the release of episodes in the last month. In this episode we move a step forward from the ECG trace to discuss a very broad overview of the ECG patterns that one can expect in categorising pathology. The video for this episode should be out on YouTube before the end of the week and hopefully should make a lot more sense!

Today we kick off a series of episodes on the ECG, starting from the very basics. Hopefully, in the next episode we'll discuss the synthesis of the finding of an ECG and then later on integrate cardiac pathology with the trace we expect on ECG.

In this episode, Bill talks about the steps in the beginning and completely of a heart beat. Regardless, it is still no small episode!

Today, Bill discusses the ion channels and the currents involved in the transmission of signals responsible for cardiac contraction.

In this episode, we do an overview of the histology of the blood vessels, which has a significance in the subsequent episodes when we discuss physiology and pathophysiology. The lymphatic circulation has been deliberately omitted from the discussion; as I felt that it would be better to explain it along with lymph nodes in the context of immunology; which we hope to cover in the future.

Following on from anatomy, we move on to touch on the cellular structure of the heart before we start discussing the physiology of the heart. Hopefully aim to have a more regular schedule in the coming weeks!

Welcome to Cardiology, and today, Bill Maish joins us to talk about the anatomy of the heart and the clinical significance. Hope you enjoy it

Neurology comes to an end with a brief discussion about Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Tomorrow, join us for some Cardiac Anatomy!

Cataract and Glaucoma. One more episode to come in Neurology

The inflammatory conditions of the structures in the eye briefly discussed. 2 more episodes in this series to come.
