CARDIOVASCULAR

EMBRYOLOGY

Congrats, first-years!
You’ve just unlocked “CardioGenesis.exe” — where the heart sparks into motion, the tubes twist, the chambers rise, and the great vessels claim their destiny.
From the cardiac crescent to the heart tube, from endocardial cushions to septation battles, from aortic arches to fetal shunts, we’ll follow every loop, fold, and legendary fusion that forged your circulatory empire. ❤️‍🔥🫀

ANATOMY

Congrats, first-years!
You’ve unlocked “CardioMap.exe” — time to chart the terrain of your circulatory kingdom!
From sternocostal borders to intercostal spaces, from atria alleyways to ventricular vaults, every artery, vein, and valve has its coordinates.

Let’s see if your anatomy is in sinus rhythm —
or if you’re still mixing up your SVC with your IVC, your right coronary with your left… and your papillary muscles with “that thingy inside the ventricle.” 🫀🩸

HISTOLOGY

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “CardioScan.exe” — where intercalated discs lock, endothelium gleams, and vessel walls reveal their microscopic endurance! 🩸 From the wavy elastic laminae to branching cardiomyocytes, it’s time to explore every tunic, capillary, and valve. Let’s see if your vision’s crystal clear — or if you’re still mistaking a muscular artery for a vein! ❤️✨

PHYSIOLOGY

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “HemoDynamics.exe” — where potentials spike, valves snap, and the SA node drops the ultimate electrical beat! 💓🎶 From systole’s squeeze to diastole’s fill, it’s time to trace every preload, afterload, and stroke volume vibe in perfect sync

Let’s see if your physiology stays perfused — or if your concepts go into circulatory shock! 🫀⚡

PATHOLOGY

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “CardioCrisis.exe” — where plaques rupture, vessels stiffen, and ischemia declares war! ⚠️💔 From the silent fatty streak to the catastrophic transmural infarct, it’s time to dissect every thrombus, aneurysm, and vegetation lurking in the heart.

Let’s see if you can tell a STEMI from stable angina — or if you get caught flatlining in the shock of pathology! 📉🔥

BIOCHEMISTRY

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “CardioChem.exe” — where fatty acids fuel, ATP pumps, and biomarkers tell the tale of tissue death! ⚗️⚡ From the dominance of beta-oxidation to the kinetics of Troponin and CK-MB, it’s time to quantify every substrate and enzyme leak. Let’s see if your metabolism remains aerobic — or if your concepts crash into anaerobic glycolysis! 💔📉

COMMED + BEHSCI

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “CardioReality.exe” — jahaan Cholesterol 250 cross karta hai aur uncle kehte hain “asli ghee toh sehat hoti hai!” 🍔💔 From Burns Road ki tari floating on Nihari to cafeteria ke deep-fried samosas, yeh hai tumhara asli behavioral battleground — jahan ek taraf obesity hai, doosri taraf ignorance!

From “kal se pakka gym” lies to “khaate peetay gharane ki nishani” excuses, every extra paratha writes its risk factor profile. ⚠️ From sedentary lifestyles to the “Silent Killer” (Hypertension) creeping up unnoticed — this is where counseling meets cardiology. Let’s see if you can preach Primary Prevention effectively — ya tumhara patient compliance bhi deep-fried oil mein dub kar block ho jaye! 📉❤️

PHARMACOLOGY

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “CardioDose.exe” — where ACEs block, diuretics drain, and every pill tweaks the pressure! 💊💓 From Beta-blocker brakes to Calcium Channel calm, from Nitrate relief to Inotropic kicks — this is your pharmacologic flow-control arena. Let’s see if you can keep the tension low and the rhythm sinus — or if you end up coughing through the ACE-inhibitor side effects! 🩸⚡

RADIO/MEDICINE

Congrats, first-years! You’ve unlocked “CardioView.exe” — where silhouettes stretch, borders bulge, and every mediastinum tells a tale! 🩻❤️ From the classic "Boot-shaped" heart to the ominous "Water-bottle" sign, from the widening aorta to the creeping Kerley B lines — this is the art of sizing up the shadow.
Let’s see if you can master the Cardio-Thoracic Ratio — or if you get drowned in the fluid of pulmonary edema! 🌊⚡
