I listen to Amal every shift from around 1130pm-0500. I always keep one earbud with him blasting in an ear with my hair perfectly covering so patients cannot see lol I hope that I listen to his lectures so many times that all of the knowledge gets ingrained in my head until I'm able to recite it like one of his devoted minions.
Thank you for the lecture I myself started fainting last year where I suddenly loose consciousness for a few minutes after I regain consciousness I feel light headed and need to take a sleep the faintings have been every few weeks I can’t drive can’t go to work anymore can’t live a normal life anymore previously I also had epilepsy for 12 years and brain surgery by age 19
Interesting talk. My son (age 50) had a sudden death. The autopsy has not been fully completed yet (after 12 weeks), but I believe obvious causes has been eliminated. My question is... If he had a cardiogenic event - would this show up in autopsy? There is a family history of AFIB in that myself and two siblings have AFIB. Do electrical events show up in autopsy?
Amiodarone is not an AV Nodal Blocker, No. Think Adenosine, Beta Blockers, certain Calcium Channel Blockers, and Digoxin. Amiodarone is a potassium Channel Blocker, one of the only ones.
I'm a paramedic for a major city and I can't explain how wonderful a refresher course this was for me. I've encountered a total of 3 brugada patients in my career, only 2 of whom already knew they had it with AICD. Thank you!
Thanks again Dr Matu . I’m constantly referring to you to my ER colleagues. I’m part of Vituity health are and we all know you and respect you. Thanks for your wonderful teaching Phillip Silverstein MD
As of around 27:30 --supposing someone (who does not have WPW) develops A Fib,perhaps for the first time: does the body respond by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous activity to attempt to slow the heart rate and would that tend to cause the A Fib to convert back to sinus rhythm? Is that why some people have short runs of A Fib that successfully terminate on their own? Would this be more likely in the trained athlete in good health than in the stereotypical unfit diabetic type II A Fib patient?
Heard that Brugada pattern can fluctates overtime , however doesn't normalized for exceeded periods like whole days or weeks but has short lived fluctuations affected by various factors
You are a genius sir!!! Thank you so much for these amazing refresher lectures and please continue to post more. It really helps lot of people who are interested in the topic. Recently, I’ve started to listen to your lectures throughout my commute and by the end of each lecture, I feel like I need to add certain detail to my H&P and be mindful of DDX that I learnt at some point. Sir, You don’t only save life’s when you are working, but even with these lectures when you are not physically seeing the pts by educating others!!!
This is such a wonderful video and teaching tool. Thank you very much for the time you took to teach all of us this. I will pass it along and God willing save some lives!
