Cardiovascular System
5 key topics
The heart beats ~100,000 times per day, pumping ~5L of blood per minute.
Heart anatomy & chambers
Cardiac cycle & conduction
Blood pressure regulation
Coronary circulation
ECG interpretation basics
Pathophysiology Essentials
Myocardial Infarction (MI)
CRITICALCoronary artery occlusion → ischemia → necrosis of myocardial tissue
Chest pain radiating to left arm/jawDiaphoresis, nauseaST elevation on ECGElevated troponin
Stroke (CVA)
CRITICALIschemic (clot) or hemorrhagic (bleed) → brain tissue death → neurological deficits
Sudden facial droopingArm weaknessSpeech difficultyFAST assessment
COPD
HIGHChronic inflammation → airway obstruction → air trapping → barrel chest
Chronic cough with sputumDyspnea on exertionDecreased breath soundsProlonged expiration
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
HIGHInsulin resistance → hyperglycemia → end-organ damage over time
Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagiaFatigue, blurred visionSlow wound healingHbA1c >6.5%
