Medical School MD + DO Mastery

A 4-year, board-aligned study system for medical school and licensing exams.

Walk the full Year 1–4 curriculum — foundational sciences, organ-system blocks, clinical clerkships and advanced practice — each with mastery checklists and linked learning resources, plus a dedicated review system for school exams, Shelf/COMAT, USMLE Step 1–3 and COMLEX-USA Levels 1–3.

CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE + THERAPEUTICS

YEAR 2 | PAGE 22B - ISCHEMIA, FAILURE, VALVES, ARRHYTHMIAS + VASCULAR

DISEASE — MECHANISM -> PRESENTATION -> DIAGNOSTIC CLUE -> THERAPY

For each syndrome, start with the physiologic failure: impaired perfusion, pressure overload, volume overload, pump failure, abnormal conduction or vascular resistance. Then connect pathology to symptoms/signs, ECG/imaging/labs, and the mechanism of the relevant drug class.

1.Coronary Artery Disease - Ninja Nerd~52 minStable angina, unstable angina, NSTEMI/STEMI, MI complications, ECG localization, diagnostic strategy and treatment framework.
2.Congestive Heart Failure - Ninja Nerd~58 minLeft/right and systolic/diastolic failure, compensatory neurohormonal responses, congestion/shock, diagnostics and therapy.
3.Valvular Heart Diseases - Ninja Nerd~46 minMitral/aortic stenosis and regurgitation, hemodynamics, murmur logic, complications, echocardiography and treatment principles.
4.Arrhythmias - Ninja Nerd~61 minBrady- and tachyarrhythmia mechanisms, ECG patterns, complications and treatment logic using real tracing examples.
5.Hypertension - Osmosis from Elseviervisual reviewVisual pathology-to-clinical review of hypertension, vascular injury, complications, diagnosis and treatment principles.
6.Heart Murmurs - Dirty MedicineENRICHMENTHigh-yield locations, maneuvers and classic discriminators after the underlying valve hemodynamics are understood.

B. CLINICAL CARDIOVASCULAR VIDEOS - CORE + ENRICHMENT — DISEASE-INTEGRATION CHECK

  • Ischemia: plaque/thrombus -> perfusion deficit -> ECG/biomarker pattern -> complications; distinguish stable angina, unstable angina, NSTEMI and STEMI.
  • HF/valves: predict chamber pressure/volume remodeling, murmur behavior, pulmonary/systemic congestion and medication effects.
  • Arrhythmia/congenital/vascular: connect conduction or shunt/resistance abnormality to pulse, oxygenation, chamber load and classic imaging/ECG clues. VIDEO-FIRST | SCHOOL-EXAM + BOARD-EXAM MASTERY
