Diagnosis of Heart Diseases

diseases No Comments »

To diagnose a heart disease there are different tests, like CT Scan, echo, labs, EKG, physical exam, STS Score and cardiac catheterization. Dr. Harry Aldrich, Medical Director, Echocardiography, EKG and Stress Testing with Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, says the first test is listening to the patient’s history with the physical examination, where the doctors listen for sounds of the heart, which is the first indication that someone has a heart disease.

He also says the echocardiogram or ultrasound test is a non-invasive test, where doctors can judge the degree of the murmur, how severe it is, and how severe the leaking or stenosis is. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

diseases No Comments »

Lesson on Hashimoto Thyroiditis: Risk factors, pathogenesis, signs and symptoms and treatment. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition involving the destruction of the thyroid tissue leading to hypothyroidism. There are a variety of risk factors for Hashimoto’s including being female, genetics (ex. HLA-DR3 gene), family history and stress among others. The pathogenesis of Hashimoto’s is due to the production of auto-antibodies including anti-thyroglobulin among a variety of others.

In this video I go through hypothyroidism. We cover the causes of hypothyroidism (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, iodine deficiency, treatment for hyperthyroidism, medications and hypopituitarism). We then cover the features and presentation of hypothyroidism, investigations for hypothyroidism and the management of hypothyroidism.
