Interesting Cardiology Cases
Why Heart Attacks Are Increasing in the Population
Acute coronary syndrome is presenting earlier and in wider populations. Who is at risk sooner than expected, and which presentations should never be dismissed.
Cerebral Aneurysm: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage is devastating and often misread at first contact. How cerebral aneurysms present, how they are found, and what drives outcome.
Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment
An uncommon cause of stroke, easy to miss because it does not behave like arterial disease. Who to suspect it in, and why early recognition changes everything.
COVID-19 Drug Protocol for All the Variants
How antiviral and supportive treatment protocols for COVID-19 developed across successive variants, and what the evidence supported at each stage.
Omicron Variant of COVID-19: A New Concern
What made the Omicron variant different from those before it, what changed clinically, and what it meant for prevention and treatment.
Heart Failure Treatment and Diagnosis
Heart failure is a syndrome, not a diagnosis. Recognising it, classifying it properly, and building treatment that follows the physiology rather than the label.
Types of COVID-19 Vaccines and How They Differ
The main COVID-19 vaccine platforms explained: how each works, how they differ, and what that meant for protection and deployment.
Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism is common, potentially lethal, and most deaths occur early. Recognition, risk stratification, and the decisions that change survival.
Takayasu Arteritis
Takayasu arteritis is often diagnosed years after it begins, because the early symptoms are non-specific. What to look for, and how to confirm it.
