EKG Boot Camp! With Dr. Martin Espinosa
EKGs. Your Cardiology attending makes it look like it's something you should have mastered in pre-school, and when you ask your fellow to explain what a J-point is, it turns into an opportunity to "broaden your reading". In this lecture, Dr. Martin Espinosa discusses concepts in EKGs for the medical resident.

MARTIN ESPINOSA GINIC, M.D.
Dr. Martin Espinosa is an Electrophysiology fellow at the University of Louisville. He completed his cardiology fellowship in Louisville. He is well known as an excellent educator who can distill complicated cardiology topics into easily digestible lectures for medical students and residents.
Our Chief Medical Resident for Education, Dr. Samuel Reynolds returns to give an introduction on abstract writing. He begins by describing an abstract and its importance and after, he discusses the general process of abstract writing.
Our Chief Medical Resident for Education, Dr. Samuel Reynolds, presents “Basic Science: Molecular Biology in Cardiovascular Disease”. He discusses the basis of Cardiovascular Disease from a molecular standpoint and emphasizes how arrhythmia and cardiac conduction impairment relates to coronary artery disease and how the development of structural heart disease can mean problems for our heart’s ability to conduct electrical signals. Please note: this presentation took place in our Didactics Zoom, so the audio may be harder to hear.
Dr. Lorrel E.B. Toft returns to the University of Louisville to deliver a much needed Boards Review on Cardiology.
Dr. Shahab Ghafghazi presents "Valvular Heart Disease" and focuses mainly on aortic stenosis through various definitions and case reports.
Dr. Chris Migliore presents The Approach to Chest Pain by first discussing the epidemiology of chest pain or cardiac presentations. He then lists and discusses the important symptoms of chest disease. After, he reviews elements of the chest physical exam and finally, he reviews the fundamentals of clinical reasoning concerning chest pain.
Dr. Lorrel Brown is here to present something a little different: CV Prevention. Dr. Brown first lists Life's Simple 7 approach to prevention of cardiovascular disease as well as how to apply appropriate screening methods for LS7 in clinic patients. She then discusses how to properly treat conditions associate with LS7 and and finishes by giving examples of simple recommendations for patients to move towards ideal cardiovascular health.
Louisville Lectures's most requested lecturer is back! Dr. Lorrel Brown presents Cardiac Arrest and her journey to discover whether education can improve the outcomes. First, she explains the postulated reasons for the variability in survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as well as the gaps between the best practices and real world practices with regards to CPR. She then defines CPR skill retention rates under current methods of instruction and finishes with different ways in which ongoing educational efforts seek to improve outcomes following cardiac arrest.
Dr. Mitchell presents Syncope by first discussing the different types of Syncope as well as cost effective evaluations. She then discusses risk stratification along with management and complications.
Dr. Lorrel Brown discusses the Hypertensive Crisis by first defining hypertension. She then defines hypertensive crisis as having severely elevated blood pressure with end-organ damage. After, she discusses the pathophysiology of end organ damage along with the different treatment approaches for hypertensive crisis. Finally, she finishes her presentation with a few case reports.

Dr. Regan Wade presents "Heart Failure Pharmacology" by first reviewing heart failure pathophysiology as it relates to pharmacotherapy. She then discusses guideline directed therapy and other agents indicated to optimize heart failure care. After, Dr. Wade evaluates literature related to new therapies and indications for medications in patients with heart failure.
