We complete our series on Ischaemic Heart Disease with the classic STEMI, one of the most important ECG signs and diagnoses.

In this episode we discuss the rather challenging parts of ischaemic heart disease, the lack of classic ECG changes making diagnoses harder.

We kick off a series of episodes on ischaemic heart disease with stable angina. Hope you enjoy it!

Merry Christmas! One of the most important disorders today, and possibly one of the most common. Hypertension has multi-systemic effects, hope this episode covers most of them.

. Another disorder that can have many clinical consequences and can produce some very intriguing clinical signs.

In todays episode, we introduce the concept of myocardial contractility, which will set the basis for the upcoming few episodes and some later in the series when we talk about hypertension and ischaemia. In this episode, I discuss the concept of myocardial contractility, the basis of understanding the response of cardiac tissue to respond to changes in the haemodynamic status of the body.

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!

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

This week, we wrap up the Neurology segment with the eyes and vision. Because it end up in such a long episode, we decided to cut it down into 3 episodes which I will release serially this week. Part 1 covers refractive errors, strabismus, amblyopia, blocked nasolacrimal duct and diabetic retinopathy. Next Wednesday will be the first episode on Cardiology!

Today, Andy talks through two autoimmune diseases that affect the junction between neurones and transmission to the muscles.

And today we talk about loss of motor function due to dysfunction in the motor neuronal pathway, a famous sufferer of which is Stephen Hawking, as Hamed explains.

For the next two episodes we will cover the autoimmune conditions of the central nervous system. Please excuse the quality of this episode, I will come back and fix it in the future.
