Fantastic lectures, Dr. Naseer Ahmed Khan. Can you upload a lecture on EKG basics and most common findings? Would be very helpful.

Bangkim Khangembam. Thanks a lot. We are just finishing up with the lectures on coronary angiogram. Will try to do a talk on EKG at some time. In the mean time you can watch this short talk that we did earlier kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKCTqmiModmEfpI Have a good day. Naseer

Thanks for this insightful lecture. How do you select which antiplatelet to keep the patient on post-cath if you place a stent?

[@whiteboardandmarkercardiol2787]

Thanks for the nice comments. Its usually very simple. For ACS you can pick any P2Y12 inhibitors plus Aspirin provided patient doesn’t have any contraindications to them. For stable ischemic heart disease currently we only use Plavix plus Aspirin. Hope this answer your question.

Would like to know your view with administration of Morphine, oxygen and Nitro? thankyou!

[@whiteboardandmarkercardiol2787]

Vam Pire thanks for reaching out. Morphine, O2 and nitro are all for symptom control and none of them decrease morbidity or mortality. Morphine is discouraged as it can mask patient symptoms. If the decision is already made for an invasive procedure then using any of the above mentioned interventions is reasonable for symptom or blood pressure control in the meantime. Hope this help..
