“Time is a muscle,” says the description.
Rapid detection of acute cardiac diseases
There are important distinctions between cardiogenic shock and other forms of shock.
Which aortic dissection patients require immediate surgery? Which ones don’t?
Using Beck’s triad of symptoms, diagnose cardiac tamponade.
Recognize the early indications of acute cardiac arrhythmias and act quickly.

You’re caring for a stable patient when she suddenly gets tachycardia, hypotension, and pain complaints. All of these symptoms are indicative of acute coronary syndrome, early shock, aortic dissection, tamponade, and different arrhythmias. Which one is it?! Acute patient changes necessitate prompt assessment and intervention.

You may use your knowledge of cardiac architecture and physiology to detect presenting and evolving symptoms, as well as possible risk factors for common illnesses, if you have a good comprehension of them. In order to make the best judgments, fascinating case studies will be used. This information will enable you to react correctly and not panic, returning to work with the capacity to identify a differential diagnosis more quickly and effectively prepare patients and families on the expected treatments and course of treatment.
