Ahmed AdilIt's been amazing to have this lecture on class central. it is short, knowledgeable, pretty well structured.
I came with the blank mind and leaving with so much more information. beautifully explained by the expert. and I really like that she pointed out the common mistakes and talked about the scenarios when we have to encounter it and how do deal it like an Expert.
so far the best course to take on Cardiac Dysarrhythmias.
