Welcome to week 8 of the QUB CardioSoc weekly peer-to-peer teaching series! This is our last week of our teaching series! Today we will cover cardiac physiology which will include going over the basics of normal cardiac physiology to form a basis of knowledge for pathological conditions!
Cardiovascular Physiology (QUB CardioSoc Teaching Series #8)
Catch-up content
2Description
Summary
Join us for the final week of the QUB CardioSoc teaching series, where we'll dive into cardiovascular physiology. This session will provide a foundational understanding of normal cardiac physiology to better understand the pathological conditions. This crucial knowledge is applicable to various healthcare fields and will enhance your clinical skills and patient care. Don't miss this fulfilling learning experience!
Learning objectives
-
By the end of the session, participants will be able to describe the essential components and functioning of the cardiovascular system, including the heart and blood vessels.
-
Learners will be capable of explaining the physiologic principles underlying normal heart function, including myocardial contraction, electrical excitation, and heart valve dynamics.
-
Participants will be able to identify and describe the various stages of the cardiac cycle, including systole and diastole, how they are regulated, and their importance in overall cardiovascular health.
-
Learners will develop an understanding of cardiovascular response to stress and exercise, including changes in heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output.
-
By the end of the session, learners will have established a solid base of normal cardiac physiology knowledge, so as to better understand and recognize pathological conditions when they arise in clinical settings.
