I really wish I had been able to record this lecture and show it to higher classes. It was so relevant to the higher course (but I think everyone would be amazed to see the images I saw today).

The lecturer, a cardiologist, showed us different ways of viewing the activity and health of the heart.

There was the relatively simple ECG traces followed by echocardiogram and videos showing blood flowing from the atria to ventricles.

We also got to see MRI’s used to identify heart problems. We saw problems with blood circulating around the ventricle instead of leaving the heart and issues with heart valves.

It was so interesting and so relevant. The lecturer said that if the photos and videos could have patient information removed he might be able to share them with us. Fingers crossed that it is possible as I know you’d find it very interesting!!!
