Course Objective |
The aim of the course is studying the working principles of cardiovascular system in advanced level. The objectives of the course are, discussing excitation-conduction system of the heart, cardiac cycle, ECG, properties of blood vessels, principles of blood flow and pressure regulation, coronary blood flow and pathologies of cardiovascular system. |
