It’s easy to follow and understand. I like the way it was formatted and presented
I love the short lectures packed full with information. I can feel my knowledge base improving everyday
This lesson was very poorly organized and somewhat confusing. The content was exposed in what appears to be an arbitrary order and no logical connection was present. We were burdened with the graphs of multiple epidemiological studies while other elements of the diseases such as clinical presentation and diagnosis were neglected. Nonsurgical therapy is mentioned on the slides but was not explained in the lesson
thanks to him , ? like to learn more about this topics

Covered the most important parts of DCM in a very short time period. The teaching is top-notch!
This lecture lacks depth and does not cover the conditions in depth (e.g. physical findings, acute vs chronic pictures, etc). It's under cardiology, so I do not understand why it feels like an introduction only.
You only mentioned valvular defects leading to aortic regurgitation what about the aortic root defects? This lecture lacks so much more knowledge that we must know both for medical school exams and the USMLEs. For instance, where are the physical findings associated AR? The diastolic descrescendo murmur, wide pulse pressure, and S3 heart sound. The specific pulse patterns such as, Corrigan's pulse, water hammer, or pistol shot pulse patterns. How are patients with aortic regurgitation treated and etc? I've been seeing so much lack of consistency with lectures on lecturio recently.
He is such a great lecturer, demonstrating heart murmurs with his own voice better than the actual murmurs we hear through a stethoscope. That was an exaggeration but you get my point. He is fantastic.
What a great and passionate professor. He goes beyond the slides to help you really understand the materials.
this lectures are too basic, too much "we should do this and and we should do that" basically is what i keep hearing in these lectures. I not in high school anymore !! I need substance and more pathology and treatment not 1+1= ?
class has very low value. no practice, poor application to boards. may be if i was going to write a book could be valuable but not for pt. treatment nor use useful for boards.
most amazing lecture sir, your explanation was the epitome of basics in cardiology and looking forward for more like this and thank you.
The lectures are awsome, very good and focused explanation on topics
I see this is areal rate based on my experience in subscribe in many medical platforms
Good content covered in short time span Summarization could have been better
El doctor explica de forma muy clara. Abarco el tema de forma muy completa. Es mas facil aprender asi.
Great explanation, step by step, the course is really wonderful
Clarísimo, la explicación es breve, clara y precisa. Me ha gustado mucho.
It is an amazing source for medical students, it is motivating and informative and it made me love medicine even more. I would recommend it to any medical student I know
Used simple language to explain complex concepts. Presentation is also good.
So interesting ! And simplified as well. I like it very much. And thanks a lot.
Dr. Alpert is incredibly knowledgeable and explains everything in such an easy way. Everything makes a lot more sense now. Thank you!
Excellent. Speaker they go to the important aspects of the disease they are lecturing on.
I choose this rating because topics and teacher are excellent. I like this course because it combines basic and clinical information in a balanced way. I recommend this course for everyone related with heart and vascular fields.
Very good concepts are explained in these lectures. Classification is explained well in the first lecture with a flow diagram.
I understood it well , I need to repeat it a lot of time
Very clear in explanation, good graphs and diagrams and nice concepts.
Great information and so precise about every topic, I find this course very formative and hoping to learn more.
i was really love to see this lecture in my life! it is very helpfull.
excellent lectures. Easily understable and very efficent for university exams
Presented a complex topic in a simple way without sacrificing the content. The lighthearted analogies are welcome. I enjoy all of Dr. Alpert lectures. Great work!
I found the delivery of Prof Joseph Alpert awesome and lucid
Greatest teacher every where god blesses you thanks for all your effort
This course has an excellent content and brilliantly explained by a professor Joseph Alpert MD. Many thanks indeed.
Dr Alpert is a great, exciting speaker that makes the material come alive!
Professor Joseph Albert is awesome. The lectures are super elaborated, and every video has a lot of relevant questions. He is one of your best teachers.
I like it because it was very simple and clear explanation
Nice tous lesson Thank you very much and good continuation
Again, another five star to appreciate Dr Alpert valuable work...
Lecturio is a best! It gives just the best that is humanly possible.
Very well explained, presented and delivered. I’m not a native speaker and these lessons were easy for me to understand. Thank you very much.
Perfect lecture, clear presentation efficient concise knowledge. He has great vocals and phonations .
OMG, Joseph; if it´s not your videos maybe I would never understand EKG, thank u for this important lectures! You are a great teacher and doctor
Nicely explained the main cardio pathology. Do recommend this topic
This lecture is good because of in depth explanation of the signs and symptoms.
Not bad Not bad Not bad Not bad Not bad
I wish he did cvs pathology, his approach so gud and integrated
Hello I liked your lectures it was very useful for me. I'm going to continue watch another videos also. Thank you for shareing with me that videos. Best Regards Pakhria.
For me this lecture was very intelligible and interesting to watch, even tough it is not one of by favourite subject. I think the lecturer is charismatic and showed the important points in this subject - not too much detailed but not too superficial as well. I like his other lectures too. Thanks!
I wwould like to have more explanaition and algorithm of treatment
Dr Alpert explains the introduction to ECG in a fun way. He can connect with the students even online. I like how he demonstrates atrial fibrillation like he's rapping. Will definitely remember that one.
eazy to understand clear ,and not too long . very very very like it
The explanation was great. It was way better than my instructor's.
a very global and complete series about heart failure lectured by a very good professor
I love Dr Alpert. He is so neat in his explanations and so kind in his answers. He would be one of the best professors in the earth. Thank you so much Lecturio for bringing him to us!
This is awesome. By the time you finish his 30 case based lectures, you would have covered exam topics in cardiology.
Likes it very much, like it very much, like it very much
I would recommend these series of lectures to anyone interested in health care! Dr. Joseph Alpert is a great teacher, I feel very lucky for being able to listen to him.
Dr. Alpert's lectures are excellent! He knows what us, students, need to learn and how to explain everything in an easy and understandable way. I am very grateful for being able to listen to him.
An informative covering of cadiac disease with excellent instructor which deserve 5 stars and more.
basically 15min of my life thrown into garbage... I mean even lay people know this info..
Because lecture is nice, I like active teacher and dislike lazy Joseph and all management who give us this important opportunity
Easy to understand, well explained, very high yield. thank you
Nice topic and the speaker is good , he has the potential that all the listener is willing to hear what is he lecturing because his quality of voice and the quality of his teaching is an example of professional.
Great! The lecture is very straight forward and easy to understand.
Dr. Alpert is no doubt a great professor and explain things in a very academic way. However, I do not appreciate the misconceptions he has about medical practice abroad. He makes the sophomoric mistake of comparing the absent health system in the US to western Europe efficient and fair health system. On the other hand he implies with old data that Latin American systems are not good.
Great lecture! I loved how much emphasis Dr. Alpert made on EBM. Much need it!
THANKS you, teacher. Those were Great lectures! I'm very happy with this course
My cardiology scores have tremendously improved after watching Dr. Albert's presentations. I am going to start working in cardiology as a Physician Assistant and I feel very confident these presentations have helped prepare well to practice in Cardiology.
Doctor Alpert teaches clearly and with an enthusiasm that makes learning easy and enjoyable.
No words to explain...such a good app. I was mesmerized by seeing topics and the way the professors explain.....
Love this course so much. You make the cardiology much easier to understand. Thanks a lot Dr. Alpert.
Love this course very much. Thanks a lot Lecturio. Thanks Dr. Alpert.
This review was better than an entire course I took at work regarding EKGs. Thank you!
As someone who loves neuro, cardiology is not my strong suite. These lectures have been monumental in my education. Thank you for these great explanations and examples of the heart sounds!
The topic it's well explained, clear and highly related to previous lectures.
the lectures are well illustrated and the lecturer is very audibly clear.
This lecture couldn´t be clearer! I understood everything completely even though I'm not even a native english speaker
more helpful on my medical activity i'm interesting more on cardiology
Excellent lecture! Very clear and easy to understand. Explanation easy to follow.
Needs some updates, but great. Dr Alpert is amazing. Only thing is cardiology and others (like pulmonology) require constant update, yearly, on treatment, management, and so. But as I said, amazing.
Lecturio I think lives up to its billing as ‘Medflix’. I really think it’s worth the money. Sometimes I find myself binging. However, I would love to see more animations added to facilitate comprehension and retention.
Videos had very clear, easy to understand explanations. This is the first time I truly understood some topics.
Clear voice Excellent expression Excellent representation Pointwise description Evident graphics
Professor Alpert is clear, precise and makes the lessons very interesting, especially when mimicking heart sounds (helps me a lot!!!)
very helpful thank u Dr.Joseph Alpert . ..
To be sincere I have got all the answers to my questions in Cardiology.I have received information more than that I hoped for. Thank you.
I think I could go deeper into the treatment since it is mentioned superficially.
It was very helpful for my Cardiac Diseases exam. Thank you
thank you for this lecture , so helpful! Enjoyed it all and looking to attend more
Thanks to Prof. Albert. He patiently took his time to discuss the topic in such a way that, the learner gets to understand all what the topic entails.
Such a good teacher. He makes difficult things easy. Wonderful teacher.
Great lectures on these very interesting diseases. Very well structured.
Dr. Alpert is an amazing teacher. The lectures are very well structured and he explains all concepts so clearly.
The course is very clear and it make easier the study
Its just so awesome that im able to take this class from a Professor like you. Im from Argentina, and i have been waiting so much for a platform like Lecturio, im in love whit this page, i considere it a privilege, and whit the quality of information whit every single class
I really like your classes Dr Joseph, they are really specific and useful
Great overview of common cardiac issues and treatments, positive learning experience!
Excellent. Ultra professional and specific items to learn and understand the patologies.
I wish Dr. Alpert presented all of Cardiology Presentations. I cannot stop watching it and feeling learning a lot!! Thank you so much!
I found these lectures to be delivered in a less didactic manner than others and thereby more difficult to cease and remember the specific details needed. Fewer words, slower delivery focussing on diagrams needed.
The way to was presented made It very simple and very easy to understand
excellent, informative & illustrative videos and quizzes whishing for more and more in other topics of cardiovascular medicine. thank you
wonderful, thank you Doc I spent quality time during these lessons
Prof. Alpert always manages to explain the subject in such a clear and simple way, it becomes easy to get and makes you remember everything in an orderly fashion.
Thank you! a great preview into a subject that we didn't get to cover well in class.
:) a short but all the essentials...that was what we needed....way to go
Most important aspect of Joseph's sir lecture is wide coverage
As always, very helpful. Great examples. Enhanced my understanding on the topic without information inundation.
The valve course was very helpful. Concise but still very thorough in covering pathology, clinical presentations, and treatment courses. Great presentation, Dr. Alpert!
I especially liked the MRI of the heart and seeing the actual orientation of the heart with the RV in front of the LV in the frontal plane....not what I thought was the case.
mixed information,make me lost.i need to read another reference to understand this confusion
lack of information,very general information not deep to close to usmle step2
I like how the lecturer teaches.He makes it easy to understand the structure of the heart and lesions The images show very clearly the problems he describes in his lectures.
number 1 best doc i can give him 5 star so easy like it very much
I recomend this lecture to medical students on their early career.
I like the presenter's style of explaining ; both clear and to the point
Great explanations and easy to understand and follow lectures. It has been a pleasure to learn from this teacher.
Dr. Alpert's videos really helped me with my studies. The explanations were clear and easy to follow. Thanks.
revising and new insights to old subject for an old timer like myself from a developing country like Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Thanks a lot A. Kulunga
Dr. Alpert is a very good presenter, but a little rushed and stiff, clearly not a medium he is comfortable with. Again, look for higher production value, I can get talking head slide shows from my school. Think 2D or 3D animation. This is great for the heart because it moves it does things. I have Netter, use it all the time. Show me tha SA-AV conduction path in 2D rotations, static and while the heart is beating. Make the POV an RBC and ride the currents through the heart, the lungs. Also, great for the congenital malformations. Show me a tet heart in motion, with flow lines , then show me that on U/S or ECG. And show me a patient with the condition. Step 2 isn't about the science factoids, it is about the clinical art, that means patients.
The lecture was very informative and very well articulated. I really enjoyed this lecture!!
Il like of cos its tome efficent I think improvement I suggest more lectures in type or numbers to do better
Amazing vocal representation of heart murmur sound! Thoroughly impressed. Easy to pay attention to voice. One of my favourite lecturers!
Many time i do not understand the pathology of heart failure, especially on compensatory mechanisms
The course is really good if you have the basics or a review.
Explaining the circulation clearly. Sticks to the head. Thank you!
thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful
The explanations went direct to the point. Yes, I woul recpmment this lecture.
Easy explained! I like his pace and how he gives examples
I really like it, was the perfect words and way to use them
Good lecture. dont understand why someone gave it only a one
Good explanation thank you it helps a lot. I got this web in the advertising part of youtube thanks again it helps a lot!
I'm still not done, yet, very clear and easy to digest I'm liking it!
clear logical excellent use of visual and examples to embed the information about types of compensatory mechanisms
I wish the explained the same way in school. Finally it's clear!
totally misleading in explaining the classification of different types of cardiomyopathies .
good lecture, helped to refresh my knowledge.thank you very much
This lecture was very helpful, thank you so much. Great work
This was an excellent video! It was easy to understand and the professor did not overcomplicate what he was teaching.
Dr.Alpert's lectures are always on point, and easy to follow.
Very vividly described the sounds of murmurs, which helping me remember it in an interesting way, love it :-)
.....one two you three hour five by siix seven eight nine. Ten
He is a great teacher made cardiac arrhythmias so easy! As a nursing student, i did not realize how important it was to have an in-depth understanding of human anatomy including the heart.
buena pero muy corto el video quisiera saber como puedo ver mas del video
You make this topic seem simple to understand by explaining it clearly :)
Thank you very much This time I really understand some of the cardiac diseases I loved the way you explained the ecg Almost all are perfect I don't know how to appreciate
There were some points in the lecture were the lecture was in audible. I read along and there were just dots in the space that i didn't understand what was being said. Over all it was very helpful
It was so simple and easy to understand but lots of details were missing. Overall it was a great job.
I loved this course by Dr. Alpert. Very clear, I finally understand most cardio diseases. I agree also with most other collegues stating that perhaps would be useful to have responses to questions.
I like Dr. Alpert's clear and precise explanations and it has helped me understand the anatomy much better.
I was able to understand the topic well. Plus questions are provided to evaluate my learning. It was very good.
I loved it and was extremely useful for me and in the tests I always got A+
This has been a very interesting topic. It was well explained very good presentation by the course lecturer.
the way you explain was great, you've help lots of us understand, but when u start saying uhh ehhh we instantly lose focus on what we were learning about , so pls avoid saying uhh ehh tahnk you btw
the way you explain was great, you've help lots of us understand, but when u start saying uhh ehhh we instantly lose focus on what we were learning about , so pls avoid saying uhh ehh tahnk you btw
Explained everything in simple terms and I finally understand based on previous lectures and this one why we would use such drugs and when. Maybe more details into the mechanism (extra lecture) on such medications. I wished there were explanations on the questions. I'm not quite sure why aspirin would not be used if it could treat coagulating factors.
Love it, complete, simple and reliable. Very competent teacher and nice slides
I find the instruction and examples beneficial. Dr. Alpert is clear and does not complicate a difficult subject.
He is a super brilliant Professor, Ich empfehle jeden Arzt und medizine-studenten zu sehen
I really like it, but sadly it is not enough for my exam. (Semmelweis University, Hungary, Europe)
Thanks Doc. That was an outstanding presentation including but not limited to intriguing!
I like it because it is short and sharp and more focused . Also it is more easy to understand.
like the visuals like the teaching need some recap from time to time
Please let's know current treatment. As per guidelines which is better. Any trial which one to fallow. We need more good pathophysiology
Really easy to understand it with lecturio And easy system thank you
An excellent teacher. Learnt more from this lecture than any other.
It's a very good introduction lesson, because, oneself can learn all the basic important things about this area
This lecture was very good, because it wasn't hard to understand. They also were very short, which made me easier to take notes.
Absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and great examples, love the animations and illustrations.
It was extremely good. I understand it very easily and it will very helpful to me
Dr Alpert is very wise and knows how to teach with his vast experience. I'm very visual and all of the lectures in Lecturio are like that. I use Lecturio for a fast review and gives me the confidence to answer questions to my professors and shine like a star. It is amazing how much you can learn in a little time. Dr Alpert shows a lot of pictures and graphs to enhance your knowledge and confidence. Excellent job Dr Alpert!
I feel there was too much superfluous info that made the series longer than it could have been. Otherwise quite okay
I really loved this one, it was amazing. I highly recommend it.
Incredibly clear. I love the way Professor Joseph Alpert makes this topic so simple!
A very good course, quite thorough! Since this course is also recommended for MBBS students (typically a British degree), it may be worth including some of the NICE guidelines when it comes to treatment as that is what our med school exams are based on. Additionally, the questions in this course aren't very challenging and honestly a little weak - not really at exam level more like a "let's check if you listening quiz". Overall, a very helpful review though.
It helps me a lot in studying. I like it because it have enough benefit information.
Lecturio is a great supplement to other educational resources. The videos are high quality. Dr. Alpert does a great job presenting the information (nice pace, speaks well), the videos are accessible from anywhere, & I would recommend them as a great supplemental medical source. I'm actually a pharmacist who was looking to get a more detailed medical picture on disease states & therapeutic management. I'm lucky to have stumbled on to Lecturio. It allows me to see the whole picture the way an M.D. looks at it and it's easier to retain information when you see it vs. reading it. Highly recommend it for all healthcare professionals.
The lectures are clearly and usefully,if there's more details,it will be better.
This guy is just a great teacher, everything he explains is clear!
I chose this rating because the professor is so clear, his explanation is just amazing
very good lecture from experienced cardiologist. Simple explanation and easy to understand
Could really include some of the image diagnoses, seeing as you talk about them. Other than that good lecture.
Best Prof & lecture ever! Explained thoroughly to the level of student like me. I have learned a lot! Thank you Doctor.
lots of light bulbs went off during this lecture! thank you
Not quite advanced enough for MDs. Nor is it in-depth enough.
Really like the way Dr Alpert explains everything with a lot example and concept to apply in the real life.
The lecture was to the point and straightforward. although I wish the pictures were better
The lecture in a very clear way explains the crucial mechanisms of Hypertension and helps to understand and remember forever these complex mechanisms
ECGs are still ambiguous. there should atleast be a pointer on the screen to indicate what and where he is talking about. I am lost in his coordinates. Its like teaching map skills without a map legend
Good explanation of topic and therapy and management. Understandable information of drugs used.
Great explanation great job thank you so much for your efforts
amazing review, clear concise and informative, better than any lecture ive sat in
I like it very much because the teacher described clearly and easily to understand. this lecture is actually good for everyone who wanna learn about the basic ECG of dysrhythmia which used to be hard to understand for me but now...????????????????
Easy to understand and memorize. Explicit graphs. Good teaching pace.
Dr Alpert, a well respected figure in cardiogy, narrates this course in an enjoyable, highly professional way. The 30 to 40 minutes sessions are, to my opinion, much more academic then some of the 2-3 min based lectures. I do want to point out that only by chance i have found the course as it lacks paradoxically from the clinical curriculum. That said, i would love to hear more of his talks and know more of this critical discipline. Kind regards. Omri
Very very very good teacher Nice topics Well govered I like it so much
Very clear content, very concise and easy to understand. Covers a lot of topics
The lecture was filled with a lot of the important basic information for the Cardiac System. The lecturer was also speaking with a clear voice and the quiz questions were evenly spaced out throughout the lesson.
I am a candidate for MRCP. I found this course as smarter as I never have seen before. The content and the way the lecturer presenting his ideas. Isam Baloul MOH Saudi Arabia
Great lecturer! Easy to understand and the visuals help a lot.
Great overviews with very concise explanations!! Dr. Alpert's lecture is very easy to be understood. Thanks much! Hope the application become more affordable soon.
THE SIMPLE AND PRACTICAL GUIDE I WOULD SUGGEST THESE COURSES TO ALL MEDICAL DOCTORS
The content was well presented, but I wanted more depth. Too often the instructor made comments that indicated he was just going to do a brief overview. This isn't helpful for you to tell me the basics of what I already know. I need you to tell me what I don't know.
I like the delivery. It is formal without being stuffy. It delivers the information I need, without any useless digression. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to learn or review the basics of cardiology. And the best part is that it is not as expensive as some of the other services out there.
Some topics like ECG could be covered in much more depth. Not really at medical school exam depth
Good, simply and clearly understod. Good enoough for nurses. Regards
I really enjoyed the lecture, which was extremely informative. Dr. Alpert is an excellent professor.
Having just finished the Respiratory block, these lectures aren't quite as thorough in detail regarding symptoms and examination.
I would have liked more detail about the pharmacology side of cardiology. Although I am aware it was an overview, could specific usmle topics be covered?
It is excellent and well summered lecture with important information included managing Cardiac failure .
Thank you Lecturio. All of the videos I have reviewed have been professionally done. The presentation and content have been an immense asset to my clinical practice. I am a cardiovascular ICU nurse who was looking to increase his medical knowledge. I have found it here.
Great content! Easy to understand and well-taught! Thanks Prof. Alpert
Excellent course! Lots of pertinent information explained simply , thanks Prof. Alpert
I love studying cardiology. I have plans to be a cardio Nurse. Professor. Joseph Alpert is an excellent teacher
thank you prof.alpert for this nice lictures i had so much fun learning from it
Fantastic tutorials! I was really able to consolidate my learning and gain a life long understanding of cardiology! the lecturer is engaging and his vocal examples of the heart sounds really help in understanding and being able to recall the sounds when examining patients.
The cardiac cycle and heart rate can be a bit overwhelming but I was able to understand truly how it all comes together.
To be honest I am not a medic and just took the course because of interest. Turns out that it was hard for me to understand every detail because of me lacking terminological knowledge. But hey - learned a lot, got great insights, experienced a passionate and competent profesor who is really pleasant to listen to. Although he leads with considerable pace through the contents he explains very well and gives good summaries at the end of each lecture. So in total it is definitely a recommendation - all the more for medic-affines.
