The conversion of ACE 1 to ACE 2 happens in the lungs so that's what causes the nagging cough ! Just a little something I always remember ☺️

LPN of ten years just going back for my RN. Cramming for my cardiac final tomorrow - I never realized how much auditory helps especially for reinforcing. Truly a life saver.

Wish you were my aunty's nurse, she has been in afib for over three years and the cardiologist keep saying she was ok that her afib was controlled. Within those 3 years he sent her for 4 nuclear stress test, never told her the results. Last year she started gaining weight for no reason, she couldn't even walk 2 steps, had severe out of breath, felt like she was choking while laying down. She has been on Metoprolol and warfarin for the past 11 years, every night she takes them she feels weak and faint. The cardiologist brushes every thing off, it's her medical doctor that had to get the results and tell her that she had heart failure. The cardiologist said she has to be on water pills for life to help the swelling. Her heart is deteriorating and he is not doing anything to help her. I've understood so much more now about her condition just from watching your videos. You are excellent at explaining, thanks for taking the time to do so, and please continue to post these kinds of videos, they are very helpful.

My husband said he's on ace inhibitor before for his bp control but then he experienced the persistent cough so his physician shifted his meds to beta blockers. I'm here again just to refresh my knowledge. I always do love listening to her lectures. She's a good educator!

Sarah, thank you so much for your wonderful lectures. I'm so thankful you included the cardiac meds understanding with these HF teachings. My teacher doesn't lecture, so you are getting me through the 2nd semester of my nursing program in a major way! So much appreciation for you.

[staceyboyer]

So thankful I found these. I recommended these videos to my whole RN class to supplement our lectures. Thank you!!!

[jeffreyrodseth]

Educational info. that is necessary. I have CGF and I cannot do much and need more info. on this. I have watched these videos before and many people need them not even knowing they have heart failure. I found out how serious mine was when the CARDIO SPECIALIST told me I could have as little as 6 months to live. Hit me hard and I was is unbelief. Thanks for Sarah in these videos who clearly speaks of the important issues for us.
