Welcome, my name is Devine. This is episode 540 of the Devine Intervention

Podcasts. To this podcast I'm going to be addressing a topic that I call the

Floridly high-yield cardiac signs for the USMLEs,

the Florida-yield cardiac signs for the US-MLEs.

This podcast is going to easily be one of my

Seminole Podcasts. In other words, it's something that's going to be

like super, super high yield. And it's going to be something that's going to help any person taking

any U.S. Emily exam from step one all the way to step three. The thing is many people don't

truly understand these things and then they notice that they keep getting in

trouble on tests because you know you may think that oh this is only relevant for step one but on step two step three these days

Those exams are pretty heavy on the basic sciences

What they love to do is they will use these things

As filler within questions but it will guide you towards a certain direction in the answer so if the understanding is not there unfortunately

you're going to massively struggle with, especially cardio based questions.

And this is one of the things that they love to use to make integrations with many other disciplines.

So let's just kind of go through these things one by one.

Again, I will try to make it short and sweet if I can't finish

everything here we'll talk about it some other time. So what if they give you a

question about a patient and they tell you that this patient, whenever they take a deep breath, their neck veins

distend. Your neck veins get more permanent with desperation. What should you be thinking about? Well, this person probably has constructive pericarditis and

the presentation that this person has is something called Kuzmo Sign. So, again, the goal in this podcast is not just to discuss these signs,

but like to actually explain Pathofis.
