Quick Cardiac Review: Angina, Heart Failure, Pharmacology and NCLEX Must-Knows
This episode of Think Like a Nurse, created by Brooke Wallace, a 20-year ICU nurse, organ transplant coordinator, clinical instructor, and published author, walks listeners through a high-yield rapid review of cardiac pathophysiology for the NCLEX. Instead of drowning in textbook detail, the conversation focuses on the most testable conditions: acute coronary syndromes, heart failure and cardiogenic shock, and pericarditis and infective endocarditis.
You’ll learn how to recognize myocardial infarction vs angina, differentiate stable, unstable, and Prinzmetal angina, compare left-sided and right-sided heart failure, identify the signs of cardiogenic shock, and spot classic findings of pericarditis and infective endocarditis. The hosts repeatedly pull out NCLEX priorities, such as “time is muscle,” treating unstable angina like an MI, using daily weights as the best noninvasive fluid status monitor, and remembering critical medication rules and contraindications that protect patients from harm.
