Dr. Abdulla pioneered relativey low band-width on-line multimedia lectures to educate patients and their family members about the diagnosis and management of heart disease. The goal of the lectures was to present "personalized" information using a familiar classroom lecture format. Every effort was made to balance simplicity with the needed depth of information. Animations were designed from the ground up to achieve this goal. Common analgies are used to illustrate points. For example, a pump and sprinkler system are used to explain the effects of a heart attack, while a pump and dam example is used to explain heart failure. Streaming audio and automatic changing of slides enhances the visitor's experinece. Suubsequently, the lectures were modified to take full advantage of a faster band-width (Cable, DSL, etc). Both of these formats are offered to match your connection speed.
