Course Description
Cardiovascular Pathophysiology encompasses the study of the heart and the vascular system in health and disease. A review of your first year's material on basic cardiac structure and function will aid you in learning about the disease processes that afflict the cardiovascular system. Basic pathophysiology and mechanisms of disease, as well as specific diseases will be discussed. Firm knowledge of cardiovascular physiology and the basic pathophysiologic mechanisms will provide you with the background to approach patients in your clinical years of training. This course should serve as a bridge between the basic physiology you had last year and the clinical care of the patients on the hospital wards next year.
Required Textbook
Pathophysiology of Heart Disease, by Leonard S. Lilly (ed.), published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Third Edition
