Comprehensive study of human physiology with an emphasis on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, including pathophysiology of common cardiovascular conditions. Explores cellular processes, tissue organization, and clinical correlations of disease processes to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in cardiovascular care. Links to diagnostic and procedural applications will be built and reinforced, ensuring students see the clinical relevance of pathophysiological changes in patients.
Outcomes
- Describe the basic structure and function of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.
- Identify common cardiovascular diseases and their basic pathophysiology.
- Explain the impact of cardiovascular health on other body systems.
- Correlate cardiovascular health with systemic physiological impacts and procedural decision-making.
