Cardiology I – A Review of Cardiovascular Anatomy and Physiology
The following course will begin by describing the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. After that, basic principles of cardiac electrophysiology will be detailed. The course will conclude with a presentation of three cardiovascular case studies that will demonstrate how increasing your knowledge of cardiac anatomy and physiology can help you provide even more effective care to your patients.
