This course introduces the student to the principles of hemodynamics in the heart and throughout the cardiovascular system. The physical principles of blood flow and the pathophysiologic effects are discussed. Waveform analysis and mathematical computation of formulas related to blood flow are explained.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Understand basic physics principles of blood flow.
2. Describe the flow of blood throughout the cardiovascular system.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the effects of loading conditions on the heart as well as the pathophysiologic effects of loading and intracardiac pressures.
4. Identify the pathophysiologic effects on blood flow.
5. Demonstrate the methods for obtaining proper blood flow measurements.
6. Demonstrate the understanding of improper Doppler gate effects on blood flow measurements.
7. Describe pathologic Doppler waveforms from the cardiovascular system.
8. Use hemodynamic formulas to calculate flow in normal and pathologic conditions.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include - Hemodynamic principles
Cardiovascular blood flow
Cardiovascular effects on blood flow
Normal and abnormal Doppler waveforms
