Course Description: Welcome to the fascinating world of Cardiac Physiology! This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate workings of the human heart and its physiology. In this course, you will gain a deep understanding of how the heart functions as the vital pump of our circulatory system. We will cover the fundamental aspects of cardiac anatomy, from the chambers and valves to the blood supply and conduction system. You will delve into the fascinating principles of cardiac electrophysiology, learning about the generation and propagation of electrical signals in the heart. We will discuss the mechanisms behind the cardiac cycle, including the phases of systole and diastole, as well as the events occurring in each chamber during these phases. Additionally, we will explore the regulation and control of cardiac output, examining the factors that influence heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac contractility. We will delve into the intricate interplay between the autonomic nervous system, hormonal regulation, and the cardiovascular system to understand how the body maintains homeostasis. Throughout the course, you will analyze various clinical conditions associated with cardiac physiology, including arrhythmias, heart failure, and coronary artery disease. We will discuss the pathophysiology, diagnostic tests, and treatment options for these conditions, providing a holistic perspective on cardiovascular health and disease. By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of cardiac physiology, enabling you to interpret electrocardiograms, comprehend the hemodynamics of the heart, and appreciate the complexities of cardiovascular function. Join us on this exciting journey to unlock the secrets of the human heart and its remarkable physiology!
