Advanced Cardiovascular Physiology

Catalog description

The course teaches Cardiovascular Physiology at a level appropriate for an advanced graduate student. The course discusses normal physiology as well as selected cardiovascular disorders. This course helps the student understand the integration of cardiovascular physiology with cardiac muscle, vascular smooth muscle, and endothelium as a basis for a better understanding of human disease. This course will also cover the important mechanisms, including renal pressure-natriuresis and cardiac output, in the regulation of blood pressure. The ultimate goal of this course is for students to develop an in-depth understanding of the integrated functions of cardiovascular system.
