Day 35: Cardiovascular – Watch Videos

Excellent lecture on the pathological timeline of MI and IHD.

Clear and straight to the point! Potentially difficult stuff becomes super easy with him!

Probably the best lecturer on lecturio. He engages directly and makes the learning easier. All of the lectures on the valvular heart diseases have been engaging and humorous, and cater to a real world like setting which is important.

Dr. Carlo Raj explains valvular heart diseases much better than the lecturer of valvular diseases under the cardiology subject of Lecturio.

The treatment options, steps, and the overall approach to STEMI and NSTEMI patients was absolutely insufficient in this video compared to the information we must know for exams. So vague. Most of us are medical students, we know we have to use beta blockers, the real questions are when and how much? He should've gone over a systemic approach to such patients. The initial management and etc.

Concise and on the spot lectures help me review and catch up the core problems

I love this guys teaching style, its very active. normally lecturers read of the slides

I like it very much: Great lectures, good association with physiology. Cons: A hard to understand accent at the beginning.

he speaks too fast and goes too fast while lecturing i wants more explanations not like this

Just amazing!!! Dr Raj is great teacher and really cool man!

SubhanAllah. Great however it is much easier to understand after going through the main points beforehand like a powerpoint slide or brief summaries, before proceeding with this series. Explained by a very good professor.

Dr. Raj!!!! You are my idol!!!! I love everything you, do you run a residency program?

Best professor I've come across on lecturio. He makes the subject so much fun

Mr carlo raj know what i want to know in this class

Very useful content with a good basis to understand the more serious presentations of IHD. It is also very well presented

The breakdown of the different components and step-wise progression through the content is very useful. Additionally the amount of information provided is perfect for the level of knowledge required. Dr Raj is a fantastic presenter and has a terrific style.

love this guy but I'm sure it's just stockholm syndrome

Raj!!! Lecturio couldn't have picked a better physician to teach us.

clear speaking, easy to understand, fun short lecture. I found it helpful to review the basic concept of HTN and its urgency vs emergency approach. Thanks!

Dr. Raj makes the lecture more interesting with how he delivers the topic and the explanations behind it. His constant repetition of the topic makes one retain the information by heart. He is very smart and knows the topic very well the way he says it. I like all of his discussions…

I like it, definitely i will recommend this to my fellow classmate. Thank you Lecturio. Thank you Carlo Raj, MD

alright. I liked the lecture. I think it was quite relatable

top lecture from my man, only writing this to submit 5 star review

Great information, current guidelines and recommendations are displayed neat and concise .

Very Irritating describing method. Im sorry for saying like that.

Cardiology is only fun when you understand it not memorize it and that's exactly what Dr. Raj is doing. He makes people understand and builds a solid base.

Very detailed explanation of each valvular heart disease. Dr. Raj made sure that each student understands the basic concepts for long term learning and preventing short term cramming. Thank you Dr. Raj.

Again an excellent lecture from Dr Raj. I love this man to be honest

Dr. Raj's lectures are great for learning something. Best of the bests

The best thing about Dr Raj is that his way of teaching is very dynamic and this keeps you in the lecture and makes you stay focused during the lecture. He is an excellent guy. I don't like plain and simple lectures, they are very boring. Also after I listened to his lectures, I don't just memorize, I learn. Best regards

I found the information informative and helpful. I truly enjoyed Dr. Raj. He has that je ne sais quoi, going on!!!!

Mr. Raj is awesome, I like his lecturing style a lot. Thanks!

pretty helpful to explain the pathophysiology behind every condition makes it much easier to relate each sign to the underlying pathology

Very good class, very dynamic teacher, excellent for learning, 5 stars

Very good class, very dynamic teacher, excellent for learning, 5 stars

Dr Raj is my favorite lecturer on this site! I love his lectures and hope I see him more in future topics I need to study.

making simple subjects more difficult, very bad examples and constant joking which makes understanding hard. the way he explains topics from last to first makes it difficult to follow and remember

Just wanted to say after reading frequent comments on here, try not to take Dr. Raj's commentary too personally. He's not talking about YOU specifically when he says "why would you do that?".. He's just pointing out common mistakes that people make. I personally like it because it helps me identify areas where I might have gotten mixed up later. It's just his style- I doubt his intention is to be demeaning. He's trying to really solidify the information from a variety of angles, that's all.

not a good presentation. complicating simple ideas with alot of empty words

Love this lecturer. He helps you look at the topic from several different angles.

Muy buena clase, muy dinámico y claro a la hora de explicar, 100% recomendada, además enfatiza en temas importantes

All the HTN lectures were clear and concise. The concepts were made digestible and easy to recall during exams. For me, I found them helpful while reviewing my lectures.

I think that this is the kind of teacher that every med school should have. Personally, I like how he integrates all the information that it is given across the whole carrer. As a fifth year student from another country I would like that every class of lecturio be like the classes of Dr. Raj. Seriously, the integration is everything when you are in a rotation in front of a patient.

Wonderful faculty Dr Carlo Raj. He has a unique style of Teaching which gives us the full Concept and a complete grip on the Topic. Makes difficult topics Easy to Learn.

He's just brilliant, and I'm so engaged and interested. He's making me love Cardiology!

Amazing, safe my time, on that time when I was taking license exam,I created my own audio, more than 600 pages liten only in 24 hours, I have no word to say thanx all brelient Dr ,they are still providing me to start my new journey, I will success inshaallah but take time i will not give up my study will belo g to those they need me, Thanx again all DR KHAN

The content is mediocre and he patronizes the listener; if he cut out the condescension and focused on teaching it could be improved. I see why they add some talk over portions with another speaker.

His unique style keeps my mind engaged. He reinforces other concepts and paints a picture of the clinical presentation.

Dr Raj has awesome gift of explaining medicine :) Thank you, dr Raj :)

I have really been enjoying Hypertension course, in particular the Pathophys! It has been answering my previous dilemmas in the topic. For example, this 49 yo male diagnosed with HTN 2 yrs ago, previously had no chronic illness, was screened negative for Diabetes. His GP initiated him on Captopril and Bendrofluethiazide , now currently on Captopril 25 mg BD and Bendrofluethiazide 5mg, but his average BP has ever been around 152/100 mmHg. He has been struggling with weight control (BMI 31 or slightly above). I have been contemplating it is not a good control, and 2 days ago he called me complaining of visual impairment both eyes! Now I am thinking of Secondary HTN with Atherosclerosis as a Differential , oh again and a need for complete eye exam including Fondoscopy, again thinking ECG, Lipid panel and Renal Function test would be beneficial!. He have never done these tests because of affordability issue. ALL THE THOUGHT ABOVE COMES FROM MY CURRENT HYPERTENSION COURSE. BUT MOSTLY AN OPPORTUNITY OF FREE ACCESS TO PREMIUM CONTENT! HOW I PRAY GOD HELP ME SO THAT I PAY BACK TO MY COMMUNITY! I forever grateful please, Receive my kind and warm regards this Special day! Aron Okwir.

Exactly what I needed to hear while studying for Step 2. Thank you Dr. Raj for drilling it in my brain the "right" way.

Make me understand this so well. Thanks you Dr. Carlo Raj

Great overview! I personally loved to picture the concepts and pathophysiology in my mind.

Dr. Raj uses a conversational and repetitive lecture style that really helped me actually be able to learn and recall the material. I suppose some people may not like this taking a bit longer, but considering the fact that I was able to remember and learn the entire mechanism and pathology in around 20 minutes I think this style works well for long-term learning.

Mr. Carlo Raj has a particulary way of teaching that makes me get involved and really understand the content. He repeats the key concepts so many times so when the lesson finishes i have achieve the most important knowledge of such mater.

Pure lecturing by Carlo Raj , as usually... jumping ahead and then circling back to the same point . 50% of his speech - just irrelevant noise/stupid joking.

having more pictures when explaining the heart will be better to understand.

Dr Raj teaches really well. And it is not boring. Actually he makes me want to learn more.

I do not have a major problem with the material he teaches, although sometimes he just points out to the facts and skips explanations. My major issue is with the overall demeanor of Dr. Raj while he is teaching. He tries to come across as someone cool and the George Clooney of the lecturio and it's very annoying and distracting. At least for me. For those who haven't noticed, look at his facial expression when delivering a lecture. I wish he would just lecture plane and simple without resorting to " hey you know I'm cool, right?". I try not to look at him and just stare at the slides to minimize this effect.

The lectures here are very easy to understand. I use these lectures to supplement my studies. 4 stars because I do feel that more questions should be added, even incorporating the use of logic not only just recall,should be considered as well. It would also be better if a summary table differentiating the different valvular diseases is provided but I can do that myself while taking down notes. I do find Dr Raj's humor entertaining. Thank you for this.

Information is presented in easy to digest chunks. Love Dr. Raj's jokes too!

Dr Raj is amazing! Thank you! I understand the concepts clearly and it's a bonus that Dr Raj's lectures are always so much fun!

excellent short, precise and informative lecture on 2ndary HTN. thanks so much Dr Raj!

I would like to some elobrated explanation of imaging ultrasound pic

Dr Raj one of the best lecturer in the world

quite enjoyable lecture , love the examples and highlighting whats important

Carlo is an excellent teacher- he is thorough and ensures we get the concept.

Outstanding lecture presentation. Very high yield information, excellently presented. Wonderful instructor character.

I like how he keeps me engaged and constantly asks me questions to keep me on my toes. I appreciate his jokes too because it makes studying a little bit more fun

This course was explaining in simple and understandable concepts. The lecture took time to repeat and emphasize important concepts

I love the domain of the subject that the doctor has, the explanation of the subject was good

grate lecture, I really like how Dr. Raj explain the topics. I never forget his classes

Easy to understand and memory. Well explained. Thank you so much, Dr. Raj!

I never thought I'd be able to understand dyslipidemias, I'd actually given up on it until seeing this course! Thanks, Dr. Raj!

I really don't like this teacher. He's probably trying to be funny or memorable but it comes out as arrogance. I think you should considering remaking these videos.

I like that Dr. Raj supporting his lectures with physiology and clinics, and him repeating important infos make them easy to remember.

His mannerisms and power-speaking sometimes detract from his lectures, but Dr Raj is by far the best lecturer on Lecturio.

Best ACS diagram ever! Clear, concise, and delivered with enthusiasm.

Excelent teacher , Very well organizated , All the people that are complaining that he speaks too fast maybe they need to study " Faster" haha , Carlo raj is one of the best teacher in lecturio

Great explanations of ethiology, clinic and pathophysio is also explained!

Thank you for this lecture Dr Raj, it's now perfectly clear and I can't mistake anymore the different types of hyperlipoproteinemia thanks to you !

Best of all I loved it Tnx lecturio I am surprised Once more thank you so much. Big love.

Good easy to digest and understand the outline and lecture

He cares about teaching how to understand beyond the exams, and not just memorizing

Yes, he's a talker and somethings lose himself in the lecture. You have to be focus in every single word for understand him and you still will be lost sometimes. But it's good and brings to you a great learn

Dr. Raj teaches cardiology so well, I'm actually enjoying it. Concepts are repeated and tied together so nicely with clinical presentation and physiology. Thank you!

Dr. Raj put all small pieces together in his lecture. His lectures are very detailed and he is not boring to listen. Thank you very much.

I am studying for step one and I can honestly say, you have to be at a higher intellectual level to appreciate the teaching style of Dr. Raj. if one focus and pay attention to his content, one will surley pass step 1. remember the boards are not organized notes, its absolute integration. what dr raj does is golden

Great integrated overview of HTN for step one. clearly explained

This professor is the best on lecturio yet. He makes you think not just memorize .

This topic from lecturio was absolutely lovely, this saving my life....Thank you so much Lecturio

LOL. That was a hilarious presentation of a serious topic. I enjoyed it a lot.

too many information that is too advanced slides were read not explained

It is different that Lecturio lectures do not use pointers. Only the Anatomy professor uses his pointer consistently. However, having the superficial knowledge gained by other review courses and coming here to listen to Dr. Raj Integrate and bring home high yield concepts along with asking and answering the why makes my subscription to Lecturio worth it.

I am so happy Dr Raj did tis with Lecturio, he goes over everything and answers the why. He makes the lectures very in-depth and relatable to step 1. After listening to him I don't have to seek any other resource to solidify my step one concept. Totally wish the Anatomy, physiology, Biochem lectures would go more inept and integrated for step 1 students like Dr Raj does.

The lectures provide the required information in suitable portions with good explanations. I can always pause the presentations to look deeper into selected aspects. The quizzes supplement the lectures nicely as do the articles.

linking the dots for you between normal physiology and pathology. Great!

Why is everything all over the place, Im not trying to have a conversation, jumping from place to place just makes me confused. Im not against joking in between but keep it in between. Im not having a monologue here, Im trying to understand and remember a concept that I dont know, Im not discussing something I already know. You cant deliever symptoms like a story, they need to be seperated so it gets organized in my head. Need structure.

This was a good lecture- high yield, well explained & well structured

please speak slowly otherwise, your way of teaching is good. Thank you.

This course was great overall. Dr. Raj is very passionate when he teaches.

This lecturer no matter what lecture he's doing is always a little all over the place- it's hard to follow alot of the times. The whole point of paying for lecturio is to get high yield information understood - not to end up more confused. What's more frustrating is this particular lecturer has done alot of lectures on so many topics...

I am a retired Ph.D. chemist with limited training in the life sciences. I have been studying the life sciences diligently during the last eight years and recently included Lecturio as part of my curriculum. The valvular heart disease section provides an excellent introduction to this subject. To my delight, I find that I am able to answer most of the questions correctly after listening to the lectures, even before reading the articles (which I do diligently, usually more than once).

he makes me reason first and memorize later, so it's much easier

thank you so mush it was helpful .thank you so mush it was helpful

thank you so mush it was helpful00 thank you so mush it was helpful

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

He speaks very, very fast and uncoherent. However what he is saying is gold so you get alot of information in a short amount of time. Just make sure you note like a madman and you will be fine.

i like it so much . thank you i like it so much . thank you i like it so much . thank you

excellent review! I finally understood. All these concepts are difficult for FNP students. I think Dr. Raj made it easy to understand, to follow and it was humorous. Thank you

Great explanation of the topics, and sometimes funny, I don't get bored with this presentation.

its distracting to try and understand the words he is saying bc of how he is saying them. dislike

Please, remove these videos. Hate the "are you gettin' it" ..."welcome to ...."... "do you remember". Looks like a monologue. Really, I think that I wasted my money. I'll try watching another videos. But I can't deal with this guy. No mental-order at all when talkink.

Too fast-talking. No explanation at all, just shooting questions to the sky.

Great explanation, simple but effective. I just watch videos in hypertension in cardiology playlist. When the quiz pop up, I answer them all ????% correctly. What does that mean? The explanation in the video is easy to remember. Really, if I have money, I wanna subscribe for 1 year and watch all the video. Thank you for the great lecture, Lecturio. From Indonesia

un clear speaking and super facial tones. please use more clear speak

Very good! Helpful for repetition and revising the learned material! would love to see a pointer or a laser used in all of the lectures- it would make following along much easier. Thanks, Dr. Raj, great videos!

Making great explanations so you actually understand and don't have to memorize

one of the best lecturer that i have seen. thank you very much,the way he is doing easy to remember all the facts.

one of the best lecturer that i have seen. thank you very much,the way he is doing easy to remember all the facts.

efficient any very effective.its giving me easy memorizing the relevant facts. highly recommend .

He doesn't follow through his explications, he jumps from one explication to another, without finishing the idea. He is very messy with the order of his explication.

Good good good! He knows how to combine physiology - pharmacology - biochemistry, and pathology seriously and how to interact with the audience in a funny way. He focuses on complicated concepts and repeats them many times to help the process of memorization.

Comprehensive, but also highlighting the need to be absolutely certain about when immediate IV treatment is necessary

very clear explanation that will be very beneficial in our future career . Thank you dr carlo

love it i was able to remember the videos kept my attention

He is very good but for his accent. He made the topic very simple, Although the questions at the end does not reflect exam pattern of questions.

Excellent course, Im understanding hypercholesterolemia for first time in my life, and hearing all your videos Dr Carlo Raj

Lecturer can't seem to deliver a coherent sentence, jumps around in his delivery. Did not make clear that in emergency situation reduction in BP should be no more than 25%.

One of the greatest lecturers I even had the pleasure of listening to. I love listening to this guy.

If more stars are available to rate you professor Raj, and this course please let me know, so I can add some more, it is incredibly easy for me walking through the USMLE book by prior listening to your very clarifying lessons.

Amazing explanations each lecture! Thank you so much, Dr. Raj!

Muy buena clase, es muy conciso y para nada aburrido, las actualizaciones deberian ser del medico.

This doctor is always demeaning. He clearly demonstrates why instructors should learn to say phrases like "Some students" or "often times students will confuse..." It is significantly less demeaning than "You". Also, he ASSUMES we are thinking wrong "Why in the world would you?", "Don't do that!" , or "Let it go!" I never had it, so why would I let it go??? He needs to eliminate all these comments about how he thinks we are thinking and just communicate the information. It is hard to concentrate on the pathophysiology when he is constantly projecting negativity. Learning is supposed to be a positive experience, not a negative one.

I really found the teaching methods used here beneficial. He'd go through the pathway and emphasizing key steps, then point out where they'll be important down the line, then come back to continue the pathway. The repetition helped so that when he taught the disease I knew why it was resulting in that outcome. Really a fan of it. Also, keep the memory cues coming.

Much good information that will help you in your clinical practice and your board perfect combination

explica demasiado rapido y no señala las graficas para poder entender de que habla.

Excellent explanation by dr carlo raj. I have completely understand the topic. Thanks so much to carlo raj

It’s conceptual and easy to understand & just love the way dr carlo raj sir teach. Thanks

good summary for HTN, BUT I found a big difference with NHS guidelines for treatment of HTN Here you mentioned that thiazides are the first choice but there ACEIs or CCB is the first and best choice to start treatment of HTN

this is an amazing way of putting things together, thank you so much for the nice presentation.

Good for refreshing ,anybody can review it once because , it quick and easy explanation .

for those who preparing for exam its will be helpfull

its helpful and his presentation is quite good,but why physiology, Biochemistry, preclinical subjects are not up to the mark.please reset a new subscription option,like preclinical, clinical etc.otherwise i have to say bye.

I am using free version and trying to see how good the videos are. So far all the videos hv been so clear and understandable including this video. Thanks lecturio for your great work.

fantastic teaching method, love the practical examples and slight humor, wakes you up.

I would like lectures with more informations suitable for post graduate study

I think is a great review because it goes right to the point. Short videos witch make it really easy to sit down and just listen to Dr. Raj. Will recommend to all my medical friends.

This is the first time that I have a lecture with Dr Raj. Definitely recommend! He is very methodic and fun which makes it easy to understand and retain for your test. Also I love the quizzes in between the lectures that help you to reinforce the material so well. Excellent job Dr Raj! Thank you so much.

Very good lecture about the MI chronology. The Professor explains very well what we can read in "First Aid".

Lecture well explained and illustrated...makes a big difference in being able to follow and understand...so appreciated!

I like the method of teaching of Dr Raj Learned alot

Always inciteful with the eminent Dr Carlo Raj. It brought very much understanding of the topic

Thank you Dr. Raj! I have a much better understanding of valvular pathologies.

Good and clear and Quick presentation. After d’avancement on futur vidéos i can beter express

Difficult to follow because of not using pointers(instead of fingers) during explanation of the graphs.There are no numbers of pressure and volume values.I hope you will pay more attention for the graphs and marking or demonstration using some kind of pointing like pointer or change in color during explanation the relevant part of the graph.

Highly recommend this lecture to anyone studying cholesterol synthesis (biochem/pharm/patho/etc).

Honestly, it is a godsend. The videos are clear, concise and fun! Dr. Raj is passionate and amazing! Also I watched many others videoes and all are fantastic! I wish I got to know about this earlier, it would have helped me immensely. It has lectures from MCAT to USMLE 2 so all the courses are covered, never again I'll be stuck with not understanding and never again will reading the book become so time-consuming. The bookmatching aplication that it has is genius and also just makes my life much easier. I am using this program for my PANCE and it facilitates my learning to be more effective! Thank you all so much for putting this together! Highly recommended.

The most SUPER !!AWESOME!!AMAZING!!STUNNING lecture that I have seen in my whole life as a medical student. DR Carlo Raj has passion and intellectual ability to deliver His lectures in a manner that I have never witnessed before with any other lecturers. combining all the important physio points with path.I wish i could explain how happy I was jumping in my room after this lecture. Amazing! you are always my my hero Dr. Carlo. How I wish one day I could just have a handshake with you. May Allah bless , you and your family AMEEN!!. I would recommend this to all the international medical students preparing for the USMLE exam.

easy grasp, well laid out and proper delivery for passing the step 2ck exams.

-There was alot of jumping ahead and then circling back to the same point which made what should have been a 19 minute lecture, took about an hours lecture with all the pausing, going through transcripts and even looking up certain references myself to complete this lecture. The whole point of lecturio is high yield learning in a timely fashion. I appreciate the effort done and liked his style of teaching enthusiasm, however there needs to be less going off on tangents before the point has been made.

Actually at the beginning,it was very hard for me to follow Dr. Raj and it was very distracting, but now I find pathology lectures as the highest yield ones.I should stay alert during the lecture otherwise I'd listen to it again and again to digest the amazing connections among various pathologies.

personality of teacher fun yet informative learned a lot. I think that was ten words.

In general, great deal of high yield information with god connection to other pathologies or other specialities of the same pathology. The problem is that sometimes those connections are not going smooth but like jumps leading to distraction and may be difficult to follow.Using techniques like light pointer or shading ,.... could be helpful . Thanks a lot Lecturio.Thanks a lot dr Carol Raj

He explains everything in way that is so easy to remember for exam and general practice

Superb explanations in hypertension.very simple logic and scientific explanations

He is really good not forgetting his sense of humour makes the lecture more interesting. Wish to become a doctor like him near future. God bless Carlo Raj. Keshvinder Singh from Malaysia.

I can't get enough of this course. Too good it made the subject very clear to me.

great lecture. repearting important thing again and again. lecture looks like static but it is not. He actively ask something and waiting your thought to help you understand.

wow... physio, patho, clinically.. all comes together. It is worth...

Good attempt for explanation of such a wide and tough topic

Excellent video! I like how Dr Raj explains every detail. Perfect source to learn!

Dr,Raj you are awesome teaching skills better than my university professor,looking forward to see more of your videos. Regards, Raj Patel

This guy grows on you. He keeps you engaged. Not many professors can do that! If you don't "get him" I would say you don't "get medicine" either cause he's the real deal.

Clear and concise. Dr Raj has an engaging and interactive method of lecture that helps make this topic much easier to understand.

He repeats stuff a lot (in a good and memorable way) which makes me remember and understand the lesson easily. Plus he has good sense of humor!

Awesome class, thank you for all the learning. Hope to see more lectures from this!

This is a very good course with focus on the most important material. Furthermore he keeps drawing lines to other diseases and physiology giving a good understanding of the greater picture. Only thing I miss in this lecture is recordings of the different sounds you'll hear on auscultation instead of just mentioning what you'll hear. Great lecture

Dr Raj is the best teacher in the world, thank you sir!

"Now once this patient is giving you such a history, what would you want to give that patient automatically? You give this patient something in which there is going to be relief from the chest pain. Correct? What does that mean to you? It means underneath the tongue anytime that there's chest pain, you place nitroglycerin correct? Sublingual." I'm sorry, and i really don't want to sound rude, but this is not how a professional teacher should speak. When i hear this i just get very confused, and i already have my teachertoconfuse me. Dr. Raj use this rethorical questions all the time and they're very annoying. What i like about lecturio's lessons is the fact that almost all the teachers use very easy sentences when they speak, and they use a lot schemes and pictures to be more clear.

Excellent Integration with Biochemistry that enables long term retention of what was learned in the first year of medical school.

The questions were a little easier than what is normally asked. Though the hyperlipidemia lecture was excellent.

Like it very much for education purpose very good.thanls for lecturio and the whole group for this

That was incredible! This just solidified everything from 2 weeks of cardio
