How to break down a USMLE Step 1 question, from MedSmarter with Dr. Jason Colip.

The attached video is the breakdown of another Cardiovascular question.

A 65-year-old female with a long history of poorly controlled type II diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure is admitted to the hospital for treatment of cellulitis. On day 3 of her hospital stay, she complains of chest pain that goes away when she leans forward. An ECG shows diffuse ST-segment elevations with PR depressions. Her echocardiogram is normal. Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment at this time?

A) Cardiac catheterization
B) Dialysis
C) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
D) Pericardiocentesis
E) Switch her to another antibiotic regimen

We break down the concepts in simple terms in shorter videos so students can focus on the Educational Objective to get a deep understanding of the concept.

We help Medical Students pass their USMLE Step 1 Exams and provide Live and Live Online Review Courses as well as 1:1 Tutoring.
