OCOM 608 - Cardiology and Vascular Medicine
The cardiovascular course introduces students to the fundamental biomedical concepts that are needed for effective diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular disease and disorders in a diverse patient population. These concepts are derived from the study of the disciplines of physiology, pharmacology, anatomy, embryology, histology, pathology, infectious disease, biochemistry, nutrition and social medicine. The course focuses on the scientific basis for medical decision-making through the context of several cardiovascular cases dealing with palpitations, heart murmurs, hypertension, chest pain and shortness of breath; emerging scientific knowledge and technologies that are expected to have a significant impact on medical thinking and clinical practice; and patient interviewing and physical examination skills as they relate to patients who present with cardiovascular diseases or disorders.
