Divine Intervention Episode 171 – USMLE Step 1 Cardiology Review Series 4 (and Podcast App Update!)

~ divineinterventionpodcast ~ Leave a comment

In this episode, I cover a very HY series of topics relating to cardiology as tested on the USMLE Step 1 Exam. I explain pathophysiology and specifically discuss the classic presentation of these disorders. Topics discussed here are very high value and show up on the vast majority of NBME exams (including 2CK and 3). There are no attached slides.

The podcasts on this website are now also accessible on Apple podcasts, Google play music, and spotify. As always, slides and other relevant supplemental material will remain on the website.

Note that Part 1 is Episode 116 and Part 2 is Episode 154. There are no attached slides.

In this episode, I focus on 3 things; ACLS and detailed management of the different ACLS rhythms, HY arrhythmias and their acute management (VTach, Afib, Aflutter, WPW, SVT, etc etc), and the HY cardiac agents that are tested on exams. The material in this podcast is applicable to all the USMLE exams and the ABIM/Medicine ITE exam. A few questions usually pop up related to these concepts all the time. There are no attached slides.
