Welcome. My name is Divine. This is episode 540 of the Divine 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 Floridly High Yield Cardiac Signs for the USMLSs.

This podcast is going to easily be one of my seminal 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 USMLA exam from step one or 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 scientists.

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

some other times. 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, they stand. Your neck veins get more prominent with inspiration.

What should you be thinking about? Well, this person probably has constructive pericroditis.

And the presentation that this person has is something called Kusmo's sign. So, again,

the goal in this podcast is not just to discuss these signs, but like to actually

explain pathophase.
