High Yield Cardiology for the USMLE in 30 minutes (Chalk Talk!!)

Hey everyone! ☕️

This is a brief snippet from a LIVE USMLE Review course which I just held, and I wanted to share it with you all!!

In this USMLE Chalk Talk on Cardiology, I’ll guide you through some of the most high-yield concepts you’ll need for the USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK.

I keep things simple, focusing on understanding the “why” behind the content—just like a Khan Academy-style lecture, but geared toward your board prep. Let me know if you like these styles of videos ⬇️

Here’s what I cover in this video:

• Cardiac Output – How preload, afterload, and contractility affect cardiac performance.

• Oxygen Delivery & Oxygen Content – Demystify the formulas and how they come up on exams.

• Approach to Hypotension – Master shock differentiation and quick bedside management.

• Test-Taking Strategies – Apply cardiology concepts to real USMLE-style questions.

⛳️ My goal is to help you ‘Think Like the Test Maker’ & take these concepts so they stick—making exam day feel like second nature. Whether you’re revising for the boards or are on the grind in your medical school classes — studying in a vignette based manner (…the HyGuru way!) will genuinely help you retain material for rotations & beyond 🙂
