Course
Objectives:
1) Provide an overview of
the physiology and anatomy underlying cardiac function
2) Provide details on cardiac microcirculation, cellular function
and oxygen delivery
3) Provide students with an understanding of cardio-pathophysiology
and current clinical treatments
4) Allow students to perform dissection within the Human Gross Anatomy
Lab
5) Provide students with various demonstrations on monitoring cardiac
function
Course Structure:
The course will
be offered for no credit to non-students, or for 2 or 3 credits
to University students (3 credits requires added research project).
The class will meet from 8 AM to 6:00 PM for one week: lectures,
small group discussions, demonstrations and participation in a human
gross anatomy laboratory will be included. There will be a keynote
lecture after class on Monday evening, sponsored by the Lillehei
Heart Institute.
Exam: There will be one essay exam that will be based on lectures
and labs. This take-home (open-book) exam will be distributed the
last day of class, and you will have approximately two months to
complete and e-mail, fax or mail it back to the Department of Physiology. |

Text Book:
Handbook
of Cardiac Anatomy, Physiology and Devices.
The textbook received a glowing review from Danny Ramzy, M.D., and
Vivek Rao, M.D., Ph.D., in the Journal of Cardiac Surgery,
May/June 2006, Vol. 21(3)"
"This
textbook is an excellent review of cardiac anatomy and physiology.
It would make an invaluable addition to the library of those with
cardiovascular interests. For cardiovascular surgical trainees,
this text would be a valuable reference tool throughout their
training. The book is easy to read, the figures (in the text and
on the CDs) are clear and easy to comprehend. Finally, we praise
these authors for their efforts in maintaining an active interest
in this field and continuing the Lillehei legacy."
