Embedded Files
Welcome to the FIFTH Mediccom Event. For this PBL Session, we picked heart diseases by popular demand. As a group, you must research the following in your PBL presentation.
Each title is broad and can be explored however you would like. For this session, we want to emphasise the idea of teaching using your presentations. We hope to see a range of step-by-step walkthroughs and diagrams to support your points.
We have created a few topics that your PBL presentation should cover:
Pathophysiology - How does this condition come about, which biochemical systems does it involve, what physics are involved and exactly why does it happen?
Diagnosis - How does a Medical Expert diagnose this? - USE ECGs, Echocardiograms, CMR's and other diagnostic tools in this section
Current Treatment - How does one currently treat this disease?
Complications - Lacks in current treatment
Analytics - Need to Raise Awareness and Any Innovative ideas to further treatment?
Ethical Concerns - How can you implement the 4 pillars of medical Ethics in a scenario. Are there any notable cases?
Make sure to reference each article used (Put your bibliography on the last slide). We hope you have fun researching!

Aortic Stenosis
Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems. Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening. Aortic stenosis restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and may also affect the pressure in the left atrium. AHA American Heart Association
Septal Defect
Septal Defect
A ventricular septal defect is an abnormal opening (hole) in the heart that forms between the heart's lower pumping chambers (ventricles), as shown in the heart on the right. This allows oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix. A normal heart is shown on the left. MayoClinic
Rheumatic Heart Disease
Rheumatic Heart Disease
Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged by rheumatic fever. The heart valve damage may start shortly after untreated or under-treated streptococcal infection such as strep throat or scarlet fevers. John Hopkins Foundation
Brugada Syndrome
Brugada Syndrome
Brugada syndrome is a rare inherited heart condition that disrupts the flow of sodium or potassium ions into your heart’s cells. It causes disruption to the electrical impulses which keep your heart beating, and can lead to very fast, life-threatening heart rhythms. BHF

The British Heart Foundation strives for a world free of circulatory diseases, raising money for research and cures to "break heartbreak forever".
"We campaign on a number of issues related to our research. See the impact we are having nationally and in different regions across the UK."
Since we are learning about such diseases, it would be the most beneficial if we could give back to the cause, hence please go donate when you can!
