Professor Joseph Albert is awesome. The lectures are super elaborated, and every video has a lot of relevant questions. He is one of your best teachers.
a very global and complete series about heart failure lectured by a very good professor
I really like it, was the perfect words and way to use them
Explained everything in simple terms and I finally understand based on previous lectures and this one why we would use such drugs and when. Maybe more details into the mechanism (extra lecture) on such medications. I wished there were explanations on the questions. I'm not quite sure why aspirin would not be used if it could treat coagulating factors.
