Valvular Heart Disease: Basic Principles with Carlo Raj

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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 helpful00 thank you so mush it was helpful

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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