How To Stop A Heart Attack - Cardiology Let's Play

- Watch me play a cardiology simulator (with apologies to the patients I killed). If you want to support this channel, you can get a YEAR of Nebula and CuriosityStream access for only $15 with the code 'medlife'. Visit curiositystrea....
This isn't really a Let's Play, but instead I wanted to give a basic intro to how we stop and fix some heart disease and I decided to use the CardioEx cardiology simulator to demonstrate a few of the techniques I employ when unblocking arteries. It's a game developed *for cardiologists*, ie it's pretty detailed and accurate. I'm not a big gamer, nor am I trying to take on the Buzzfeeds and Dr Mikes with their 'Doctor plays' series, but there aren't many interventional cardiologists on CZcams (I know one other), so figured I'm the man for the job.
To be perfectly honest, the last thing I want to do in my spare time is more cardiology, so I'm not entirely sure who will play this game. But it's certainly a useful teaching aid. With ridiculous music. I have no connection to LevelEx, the makers of the game. I contacted them saying I was making a video and they replied to say they'd forwarded to their head of PR who would get in touch but I never heard anything. You can find the game here: www.levelex.co..., it's free so why not give it a crack and maybe you can be sued for medical negligence too.
I shot this quite a few weeks ago but haven't had any time to edit it until now (also, see above - I just couldn't be bothered to do cardiology after I'd come home from work). I tried to keep it short for CZcams, but left some extra bits in for the longer Nebula version.

A stent saved my father's life 11 years ago. In Canada they go in through the inner thigh. (11 yrs ago they did, now days?)
Thanks for the real life view of the mechanics of it all. 🤗🇨🇦
Great video again, nothing short of what we've come to expect from this channel! Thanks.
By the way, looks like someone's keen to show off their newly learnt video editing skills. :P

So does this count as a beauty vlogger endorsement? :-) (Rohin apparently doesn't realize how cute he is for some reason.)
sad boi SI jokes are best jokes.
As an American app it should have a second by second real time update display of how much money the patient owes during the procedure.
"Victory" will be withheld until sufficient funds are received.
Oof 😬😂
Hmmm, an American app huh? So they do use SI units when it comes to life and death!

@@Dealcapon97 I don’t think he would have become a CZcamsr if he worked in the hospital, but I’m pretty sure he went to med school. Don’t know for sure though, he might have learned all that from Skillshare videos.

About 80 percent of all stents are made here in Galway!
Fun fact: saying DES stents or PIN number is called RAS syndrome. RAS syndrome itself also suffers from RAS syndrome, as it stands for Redundant Acronym Syndrome ...syndrome.

Haha, that was a shocker to me! Why is the US lagging behind!?
@@sensiblewheels I guess: money.
But USA wins in terms of the highest price paid for medical care....yay!
@@sensiblewheels If you use the wrist, and the patient dies, you get sued for millions. Never mind that it made no difference, the mere fact that the procedure used was different from the one other cardiologists in the USA use will be sufficient for a jury who is sympathetic to the dead patient's family to hand over the cash. In most other countries, a jury would not be involved.
@@sylviaelse5086 Damn! That's brutal. From what Dr. Rohin said towards the end of the video, younger doctors in the US do use the wrist method, it's just the older doctors who doesn't want to retrain to this new method.
To be honest, I found this quite interesting as I am not in the medical field by any means. My Dad had a heart attack now 7 years ago, and thankfully can say he's healthy and well today. It was interesting to see the stint, the real one you showed and how you inflate it. I would be down for more medical equipment discussion in your expertise.

@@pianissimo7121 well a bigass blood clot doesn't belong in your veins either but here we go.
The best deference is a good offence, I say launch a strong preemptive strike. If you seek out and destroy the heart, you will never suffer a heart attack.
Ironicly last night I actually had a heart attack. And yes, they went into my wrist.
FYI heart attacks hurt a lot. But the medical staff were all awesome

Imagine walking past the door right at that moment and hearing that.
🤣
Having paid into the NHS for umpteen years and hardly using it I decided to make a withdrawal and had 3 Stents at the same time. It really was the most surreal experience. The thing that sticks out is the pain suddenly going, instantly. The other thing that comes to mind is the Coronary after torture, sorry, care. Where an incredibly fit ( in the health sense ( well the other sense as well if I'm honest)) Nurse gets a pile of extremely unfit chaps to do exercises for a good hour a go.
> well the other sense as well if I'm honest
Do they also have a motivational poster in the back reminding men that most erectile dysfunction problems are due to preventable cardiovascular health issues?
@@JobvanderZwan No, no such poster. The idea was to get your heart working to aid recovery, watching that nurse really helped ;)
The 'fit nurse' is intended to get the patients working harder. They all think they will be 'in with a chance' if they work hard, but that they will look like ED patients if they don't.
The one big impression I got here was from your description of the various arteries around the heart and how they all have names. I mean, of course they do -- that's not the surprise. What strikes me as amazing is just that in order to have predictable agreed-upon names, they most all mostly be the same from person to person. This branch has three sub-branches, then the middle branch runs a few centimeters and then branches off into two branches ... that sort of thing. But it all just looks utterly random to someone who isn't trained. The fact that all of these branches in arteries (and veins, and nerves, etc.) are predictable and mostly develop the same in most people just amazes me. It looks so random, and it's so ... not. I don't know how else to describe that.
Intelligent design?
Sorry! Couldn't resist! I'll show myself out! 😁 😁 😁
@@Dreju78 Nah, just fractals
I think you'd be absolutely fascinated by Developmental Biology. Everything is coded and develops sequentially, so as far as the genetics are concerned the map can only develop one way. Well, unless something goes wrong, as it can.
If we bring in some Evo to that Devo, we can see how that tracks over time through different species. A cool example is the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve. In the embryo, thanks to having evolved from things that are a very different shape, the most efficient route for this nerve to take during development is to go under the aorta. This nerve, however, goes from the brain to the larynx, which are much closer to one another than either is to the heart, at least in the adult body. Meaning that, every time you speak, the nerve signals have to take a detour down to the heart for absolutely no good reason except evolutionary precedent.
@@clockworkkirlia7475 It still feels like five people sat down to dinner somewhere and had spaghetti, and the tangle on every single one of their plates was identical. I know it's just coded but it's still just damned impressive. I wonder what the balance is between how much is coded with simple algorithms and how much explicitly spelled out.
@@jcortese3300 Oh, I get that! It's taken a *lot* of trial-and-error to get to consistently-shaped, large, complex structures. The sense of scale is mind-boggling.
As to that balance, one sort of leads to the other. There's a *lot* that can be coded very simply, just through setting up extremely specific simple rules for processes to follow (like a Game of Life, if you know the concept). The memory isn't "read" so much as it is "executed", allowing iterative processes to take hold and develop instead of needing something that can interpret DNA in and of itself. When it comes to which amino acids are produced where, it's 100% spelled out, but pretty much everything after that is iterative.
"This episode of Medlife Crisis is brought to you by Hoover, more on that later"
Seeing the different wires and tubes reminded me of something...
I was sitting in a bar/pub once and heard some members of Slovenian parliament speaking about the number of different needles hospitals order "for no reason".
The point was that buying more of something close enough to the right thing might save our health system a lot of money. While I understand trying to save money, there's a reason the saying is "just what the doctor ordered" and not "just what the politician/businessman/health insurance provider ordered".
Holy shit
Perhaps a reason why the US still opts for going via the femural artery, perhaps it costs more to perform?
@@triton62674 Maybe, but didn't Dr. Rohin say that going via femural artery can be a lot more bloody, so you'd need more blood on hand in case things go south, so you need to spend more on that.
@@jensjensen9035 Yes indeed.
@@DomenBremecXCVI right that's my point, increased spending on drugs or as a result of certain procedures might mean some companies have a vested interest in maintaining those practices despite objectively better methods being available. Really gross if you ask me.

@Benjamin McCann the one who killed my mom
Dr. Rohin I can’t wait to be a cardiologist ❤️
I was so uncertain at first but thanks to your videos I realised this really is my dream speciality
"the one country which is really lagging behind, out of modern countries, ...."
me: oh no...
Hey Doc, do you think you could do one of those CZcams trends where you answer the web's most asked questions but with cardiology in your case?
Yeah I've been thinking about a riff on the WIRED style videos. Thanks! :)
@@MedlifeCrisis no thank YOU. with the tips you'll give us we will all live past 100 ;)
@@mufasaiam7794 not doing cocaine is a pretty obvious tip...
@@MedlifeCrisis I love how polite and lively your responses are! Much respect, doctor.
"I am sweating like a chiropractor in a medical malpracitce law suite"
Haha, I broke off laughing. This came out of nowhere!
Rohin's thoughts on chiropractors are well known, and well founded 😀
@@CED99 Nah, "chiropractor" doesn't mean the same thing in every country and even within places with effective science-oriented chiros they still vary frustratingly widely. Chiropractic isn't the right treatment modality for everyone or every situation, but when it's applicable and performed conscientiously, it's incredibly useful. I love this channel but my one gripe with people in non-manual-medicine specialties is their failure to understand the importance and usefulness of manual medicine. I had hundreds and hundreds of clients during my time in medical massage therapy, and many dozens of them kicked recovery plateaus that other modalities (including medication and surgery) couldn't kick, once they added chiro to their regimen. It's very, very useful. Just ... Also attracts people who happen to do a lot of loony garbage sometimes. It needs better definition/standardization through proper regulation, not to be mocked and mischaracterized to the point where it carries stigma and people who can benefit from it choose to avoid it needlessly.
Why is nobody talking about the Ping-Pong Rohins going on in the sponsor segment?! I'm glad I was able to stop drinking water before I burst into laughter 😂
FWIW, the interventional cardiologists I've talked to here in the US (I'm an EMT) have all moved to radial artery access.
Great to hear! Most of my cardiology friends in America are the same, who are around my age. It’s the older generation that have refused to re-train.
But I actually want to learn how to start a heart attack.....for a friend of course, he's a bit annoying
Oh that would be quite useful!
Chips and doughnuts. But...it's a long game strategy. Don't expect instant results.

Well there's this trick they call the Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart Technique...
This is brilliant. I'm an american(yes I know) student who is looking at medical school so I love hearing about any insights into the field. What a wonderful channel
That was amazing. I've only seen a stent being put in to fix angina once - and I was rather sedated at the time. :)
Love the Chiropractor comment 😂😂
I actually think you might find my heart interesting... I was born with a rhabdomyoma because I have Tuberous Sclerosis. They thought I had aortic stenosis at first so the prep'ed me for open heart surgery, but then found the tumour. The surgeon said it was enormous and didn't expect me to survive childhood, but it seems I am a stubborn bugger and I recently turned 40.
Oh, and I had a femoral artery catheter when they tested the pressures in my heart.
Congratulations on your 'stubbornness', and long may it continue!
I really liked this video Rohin. A video simply about "these are the doodads we use in heart surgery" could have been a dry; this was significantly spicier.
I'm up in Blackpool as I write this recovering from a tripple bypass. just found your videos and just wanted to say.. You Sir, like all your colleagues are Awesome. Thank You.
Its amazing how the technology changes. About 20 years ago my dad had a quintuple bypass. In the last year of his life he developed a disection.
That is one cool app.
My grandson is going to love playing it
Sweating like a chiropractor in a malpractice lawsuit. Lol.
I showed this to my naturopath yesterday.
She is now a certified cardiologist.
"Certified" by what?
According to the film director Kevin Smith, when he was being operated on for a heart attack the doc told him it was in the widow maker and something like 75% die(insert correct stat here) in a cheery voice and being a nerd KS found it very interesting. Afterwards lost a huge amount of weight by becoming a vegan.
I'm part of the reason health care is so expensive in the US as I had a heart attack in 2015 "widowmaker" and recieved a stint through the femoral artery. Being poor (long story but you're not supposed to ever be poor in the richest country in the world but instead you should just died quickly and help the stats) I had no one way pay the staggering debt so the hospital had to write off the debt since the VA wouldn't pay for it because in my haste to recieve treatment I didn't get driven 70 miles to the VA hospital). But happy news, I've been getting steadily worse for five years and fully expect to not survive the next five years. And dont speak to me about socialized medicine because as an american I can be shot for saying that word and we can not have poor people surviving things. It messes up the success records. Cheers! (I love pretending to being English where I would eventually recieve treatment).
So grateful for the training, dedication and research that has allowed for the treatment for my ongoing arrhythmia problem. Started as just the occasional heart skip and weird pacing, to full time A-fib. Shock treatments helped initially, but as my arrhythmia became insistent over 5 years, I had a couple of catheter ablations done. Zero pain associated with my form of arrhythmia but so wonderful to have all my energy back...
"We treat patients of all colors and weather conditions" xD You killed me there!
0:12 ohhhh the intro music of Ilmango!!
I like how he is in a hospital casually talking about how he is repeatedly killing patients. Imagine a colleague passing by hearing this
Another great video!! When i had my ablation they went up through my leg, i asked the nurse why and she said "why take the side road when you can take the motorway"?? This was in Bristol about three years ago.
Ablations are almost done via the leg as they go in the vein, not the artery! Much less chance of severe bleeding...and the veins in the arm are just too small for all the catheters the electrophysiology cardiologists stick up there! Sometimes 5 separate ones are needed. Hope you're well!
@@MedlifeCrisis bonus knowledge content!
thanks for asking that question...i already had 3 ablations.
My 22 yr old had a operation early jan and ended up in a coma because of blood clots going through his heart. So thankful for dr's who managed to come together to fix him (brain surgery team, heart team, then vascular team) they went in through his groin because they also put like a umbrella in to try and catch all the other clots.
Yes that's very different - when we need to put bigger kit in, like new valves, or the umbrella thing you mention, or devices to grab things, we go via the leg for sure. Hope he did and is doing ok! Best wishes :)
@@MedlifeCrisis he's doing amazing and you'd never think he'd been so poorly they all did an amazing job and we're so thankful
All things considered, that seemed impressively realistic for a video game.
Ah, blue and snowing, that’s textbook Bluemonia. Complications due to pneumonic infections causing the blue discoloration and release of insoluble flake-like crystals throughout the thoracic cavity. You’re gonna need a bluologist on this case after dealing with the urgent heart trouble.

@@userPrehistoricman that sums it up well
It looks like there are 3 types of operations: in vivo, in vitro, and computer simulations. As long as you are good in vivo, I would not worry about losing ’patients’ in simulations.
I am sure most, if not all, the patients whose lives you have saved would gladly tell you that you have done a great job, and to send pyrotechnics to you if you wish.

I would be really interested in a video on how conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome affect the heart.
Thanks as always for the videos.
I like this concept for a video. Great to see the simplified version in the game, then hear the detailed and accurate explanation from a professional.
I hear Electrolux made him an irresistible offer but he chose to be with his adoring fans.
The problem with vacuum sponsors is...they suck
I absolutely love your humor. And I really enjoy learning from you, the way you transfer knowledge is priceless.
I mean as much as I dislike doctors, due to my personal history with them. I have so much respect for you and what you do. The size of he balls you need and the amount of pressure you have to deal with on a day to day basis is insane. Much respect.
When I wake up in the morning I usually have a list of videos to watch that had been released since I went to bed. Whenever I see a Medlife Crisis video that is the first one I watch unless there's a This Old Tony video.... (yes I have a weird range of interests ranging from machining to medical to music) ANYHOW I got my new T.O.T. video yesterday so now I'm off to try this new game then maybe I'll make some hash browns. Thank you for everything you do and pointing out the ridiculous use of the term PIN number. I have been berating my friends for saying that at ATM machine for years. Now I have a new one although I imagine I will have far less opportunities to be pedantic about DES stent. Keep up the good work Rohin.
I spent about a minute trying to think of a really clever pun here to indicate I too am a dual subscriber to medlife and TOT, but I just kept killing it.
As someone that has a pretty messed up back (scheuermann's while growing up, spine is pretty much a wet noodle at this point) I got a huge kick out of the chiropractor joke. Hate those bloody quacks.
There are many things I can not do, but if I put my mind to it and got the training I probably could learn to do.
Then there are the things I could never do. This is a job I could not do, ever.
Respect.
Always enjoy your videos, Rohin. Keep saving lives and shouting "VICTORY!" when you do.
11:57 any video game nerd would know that "deals damage" is a perfectly normal phrase to say.
Wether you are successful or not in stopping a heart attack, you always lose the patient
You exude such knowledge, expertise and humanity that even if you totally fucked up my stent or whatever I'm sure I, or my loved ones, would nonetheless be grateful for your efforts.
There's literally nothing that terrifies me more than having wires moved through my bloodstream while I'm conscious.

So I stumbled onto this channel a while ago, I must thank you for putting me onto the show Succession excellent show. Then I went and had a heart attack a month ago so now I must thank you again for answering a heap of questions I didn't want to waste the Cardiologists time with. Cheers.

Finally @MedlifeCrisis, have been waiting for your upload!!!! Do you have any tips for an aspiring Medic?
So glad people like you do this job🙏🙏
it was great seeing you use the game as an introduction to talk about your field. showing some of the equipment you use, including the example of the stent expanding, was fascinating. even an idiot layperson like me could understand! thanks for uploading, it has a lot of value beyond simple entertainment.
PIN number? Amateurs. It's a personal identification PIN number...
I watch you on nebula and CZcams. Gotta get those watch numbers up!
Thanks for making me laugh! When it got to the “blue patient” where it was “snowing” inside, I just lost it.
This video was singularly interesting to me, as I had a stent put in after a heart attack last year. I love all the details, and your running commentary was educational as well as hilarious. I’m going to see if I can find this app. Thank you!
@Medlife Crisis Your waggish repartee is a refreshing change from most of the American MD CZcamsrs who seem to take themselves far too seriously.

I watched an Ilmango video right before this, and then this one started with the same intro music he always uses 😄
This was a cool video! Ok all your videos are pretty cool but I loved seeing the stent thingy demo!
This turned out to be more interesting than usual!
As it turns out, I am living with an Abdominal Aortic Dissection with Aneurysm, descending into the left iliac artery. It was discovered by accident (in a 2012 CT with contrast) at the Atlanta VA after years if me complaining about lower back pain and an occasional bout of Throbbing Kidney pain. In 2012 it was just the dissection, but at some point between then and 2018, it became "with aneurysm". Treatment for now is to try to keep my BP low (I am on 4 bp meds)... which, for me there are always complications, is difficult because I have hypertension, I am HIV+ and I have other problems like Osteo-Arthritis in many parts of my body, like both hands, wrists, knees, ankles and feet... Osteo-Arthritis in my lower and mid back and neck, with bone spurs pinching nerves in my neck and lower back, degenerative disks in my lower back, and a bunch of other things.
My elderly mom had a Heart Valve replacement that worked kind of like a stint (She had a Tavr Procedure earlier this year and is doing great!).
I also wanted to mention that for my mothers Tavr, they did go through the femoral artery in her leg.
I really liked this video, taking a relatively realistic casual game and explaining extra bits - I liked for instance how you explained it's not easy to push stents through other stents, and I'd love if you explained how drilling an artery blockage (like you did at the end) is actually more complicated in the next episode :-)
My interventional radiologist positioned the screen where i could watch during my last PICC line placement and it was facinating to watch the guide wire being threaded up my arm, across my chest and into my heart and then when the PICC was in place i had IV contrast flushed to confirm correct placement and seeing the the inside of my heart suddenly appear on the screen and then fade as the contrast was pumped back out was a strange combination of 'wow, thats my heart with stuff in it' and 'oh sh*t, thats my heart with stuff in it'. The interventional radiologist knows me well and has done over 10 procedures (PICC lines, NJ tubes, and PEG-J tube placements) on me and said to me while grinning to keep my head turned to the side so the PICC line didnt end up in my brain instead of my chest, and ironically 4 weeks later the PICC ended up migrating from my vena cava to my jugular vein pointing upwards.
10 procedures? You're a troublesome one
@@userPrehistoricman haha, i just have a lot of medical problems. Those 10 procedures are just the ones ive had done with that particular doctor. Ive had probably over 50 procedures of some sort and a total of 22 surgeries, as well as a ton of other medical stuff i have to do on a daily basis myself but i wont get into that. But, yes, my health likes creating problems faster than we can fix them 😂
Your videos brighten up my evenings! Thank you for just being you ♡
This video is super entertaining we need more of this stuff.
I thought you were just going to play the game and talk some trash but it was super interesting to see some of the real equipment used in cardiology. I would love to see the drill that's used for clearing plaque in arteries and how it works
Heroic content considering how obviously unbelievable tired you are at the time.
I had an Amplatzer placed through my leg. Amazing technology these days. Love your videos. ❤️
