Heart Murmurs Made Easy - Aortic and Mitral Heart Murmurs explained - Cardiology - Dr Gill

Heart Murmurs Made Easy - Aortic Valve & Mitral Valve Pathologies - Dr Gill

In trying to explain cardiac murmurs I have appreciate I'm a very visual person, so having to train my brain to "see" the nature of heart murmur was a bit of a challenge - so it's going to be no surprise that I have *slightly* different ways of remembering heart murmurs and their waveforms depending on pathologies from the aortic or mitral valves.

So, if you want to see how I've managed to work Velociraptors, Simon & Garfunkle and The Terminator himself into my mental gymnastics to get aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation into my head - this is the heart valves murmurs video for you!!

I'm not even a medical student and I am fascinated by how much I enjoy/learn by following these videos. Thank you Dr. James Gill. :-)

[jayne]

I've got a heart murmur, main reason I watched this. You've explained it fair better than any doctor I've seen.

This lecture is not only geared for medical students but I find it perfect for Emergency Medical Technician and paramedic students . This is also a good review for those active in the EMS profession .

[coreywhitley]

I’ve been interested in medicine and the human anatomy since I was a kid. That knowledge really helped me when I had to take care of my grandad. It’s made me want to pursue an actual career in the medical field. I would love a copy of that book 🙏🏻

[emmalovegrove]

Perfect timing for my cardiovascular weeks in my clinical assessment module. Heard my first murmur today and this helps me understand it!

[burnleypip]

Currently studying for clinical skills, and this video has really helped me understand what sounds I'm listening for, and also the corresponding history and presentation that goes with it. Your videos are the best learning tools I've found so far Thanks Dr Gill😊

Text book draw will be NEXT Friday at 2000 to allow those who want a chance :)

This is the most helpful murmur video I've ever seen, I finally get it

[CyberReaperYT]

I find myself enjoying these videos more and more. The knowledge i gain from them, even tho i may not be a medical student, is wonderful! I'm a firm believer of the phrase "Knowledge is power", and you never know when info like this could be useful. Fantastic work as always, Doc!

What went well: you explained everything to a guy(me) who has little understanding of the topic at hand and now I’d be able to regurgitate the information to friends / family. What could be changed: perhaps giving Bob a rest and introducing his identical twin brother Rob for future videos

[robynadam]

I've been struggling with heart murmurs for a while now and this video has absolutely helped me in my understanding. Silliness and all, I don't think I'll forget. I'll be sure to share with my clinical group. Thank you!

[jolenebulliment]

Just started my advanced practice masters and you are fascinating! I literally have learned so much, easy to understand. I love how you use basic terminology to explain as it really helps me keep the info in! Thank you and keep them coming!!!

[sauhardyahaldar]

We are really lucky to have content of such high quality on youtube for free. Thank you Doctor. Love from India

[neilriley]

Excellent video! Just what I needed to clear murmurs in my head in time for end of year OSCEs next week. Minor correction to offer, where I think you meant mitral stenosis but said mitral regurgitation during the summary segment. It’s the generosity and wisdom of experienced clinicians like you that make learning medicine such a joy. Thank you for all you do! Please include me in the raffle, as I could really do with that book!

[rockyspb]

Explained very simply, it seems like it's a video series for dummies. Great Job Dr. Gill.

[genevievemunden]

I go for echocardiogram (due to a "slight woosh" sound Dr. described) tomorrow, and I watched this video to get a better understanding. You are a magnificient teacher. Love the engaging style of learning you offer! (my masters is in edu/building elearning courses).

[TheFrenchMansControl]

Great video as always, really enjoyed the depth you went into. As another said, would have been great to hear the sound itself - I'm sure there must be recordings, especially for the rarer conditions. Keep up the great work!

[kadragill]

Thank you Dr Gill for your honesty and your commitment of teaching something that's very very important I had to jump on this you to be reminded now yes I do have a very very bad heart murmur and I'm still here thank you Jesus I count my blessings every day but you have a blessed day Dr Gill

[bethh]

I love you videos on heart issues. I have a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and it helps me understand alot of what's going on with me. It can get overwhelming when there's alot of information

[hilanaomar]

I enjoyed the fact that Dr Gill used various learning techniques here !
