Thank you for your comment. It is a long video but I created time stamps every 15 minutes approximately so that you can do the revision in smaller chunks. We are all busy! Thanks again 🙏
Thank you for your comment. I never looked at it the way that you have interpreted it and I now think that the wording that NICE has used is confusing. What they actually mean is that, if the CCB is not tolerated, then you stop it and substitute it with a thiazide-like diuretic. So you are giving the thiazide-like diuretic for their hypertension, not for the oedema. The reason why you would favour a thiazide-like diuretic over an ACEI or ARB is because in this group (age >55 and Afro Caribbean people), thiazide-like diuretics are more effective than ACEIs and ARBs. I hope that his makes sense 🙏
@@glowaesthetics9801Thank you! You can’t be the only one that interpreted it like that so I’m going to see if I can insert a little pop up window in the video clarifying the issue 🙏. Good luck with your exams 🤞
I got few correct. Though I couldn't finish watching as I had something doing. But will come back for it. Than you Doc .
