Objectives
- Understand the detailed anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, including heart chambers, valves, coronary circulation, & cardiac muscle structure
- Explain the cardiac cycle, pressure changes, and principles of hemodynamics and blood flow regulation
- Describe the cellular basis of cardiac electrophysiology, including action potentials, ion channels, and impulse conduction
- Accurately identify ECG leads, analyze waveforms, and apply a systematic approach to rhythm interpretation
- Understand the basic principles of echocardiography and cardiac ultrasound used in clinical assessment
- Interpret common cardiac biomarkers and laboratory findings in cardiovascular disease
- Explain the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, and acute coronary syndromes
- Differentiate between types of myocardial infarction, including STEMI and NSTEMI, and understand their management strategies
- Recognize the mechanisms, clinical features, and diagnostic aspects of valvular heart diseases and cardiomyopathies
- Understand the causes and pathophysiology of infective endocarditis and pericardial diseases
- Compare left-sided and right-sided heart failure, including preserved versus reduced ejection fraction
- Explain the pathophysiology and classification of hypertension and pulmonary hypertension
- Identify major cardiac drug classes, their mechanisms of action, and their role in cardiovascular disease management
Pre Requisites
- Willingness to learn clinical concepts and engage with diagnostic interpretations such as ECGs and laboratory data
- No prior specialized training in cardiology is required, as concepts are explained progressively from foundational to clinical levels
FAQ
- Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
- A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
- Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
- A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
