Have you ever found yourself lying awake 3 am in the morning wondering why the aorta doesn’t collapse during systole due to the Bernoulli effect? Or why we see ST segment depressions during exercise stress testing? And why in the name of heaven only in the lateral leads?
Then this site is hopefully something for you. I hope this will be a site where you physiology nerds from all over the world can unite and discuss what’s on your hearts (pun intended, obviously). Are you wondering about something but lacking the nerve to ask? Or have you ‘ruined’ to many perfectly nice family dinners trying to discuss the E/A ratio in patients with diastolic dysfunction? Now you can stop ruining your social life! Drop me a comment and I will publish your question on this blog. Maybe someone else have the answer, or at least a useful article or review where you can learn more.
Please be aware – asking good questions is the first step towards winning the Nobel Price. If you do have a really good question you might want to discuss the answer after you have published the article and not before…
