I love Dr Alpert. He is so neat in his explanations and so kind in his answers. He would be one of the best professors in the earth. Thank you so much Lecturio for bringing him to us!
This lecture couldn´t be clearer! I understood everything completely even though I'm not even a native english speaker
Many time i do not understand the pathology of heart failure, especially on compensatory mechanisms
clear logical excellent use of visual and examples to embed the information about types of compensatory mechanisms
