Cor Pulmonale - A Comprehensive Board Review Guide #CorPulmonale #MedStudious

Cor Pulmonale is one of the highest-yield topics linking respiratory and cardiovascular medicine — and one of the easiest to get wrong on exam day. In this video, we break down the complete board-ready picture: the crucial distinction between cor pulmonale and ordinary right heart failure, the acute vs. chronic etiologies (PE, ARDS, COPD, ILD, OSA, CTEPH), the pathophysiology of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, classic clinical signs (parasternal heave, loud P2, Rivero-Carvallo sign), the ECG and echocardiographic hallmarks, the gold-standard right heart catheterization criteria (including the critical PCWP rule), and management essentials including long-term oxygen therapy, diuretic precautions, and the dangerous nitrate trap. Perfect for USMLE, MRCP, PLAB, AMC, MBBS, and nursing board candidates.
