Advanced Cardiorespiratory Physiology with ECG

Course delivers an in-depth examination of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseased states during resting conditions and their effects on the exercise response. The mechanical and electrical properties of the heart are explored through the interpretation of ECG signals including rate, rhythm, axis, hypertrophy and infarction. Myocardial oxygen consumption, pressure-volume loops, arteriovenous oxygen differences, and the effects of cardiac pharmacology are also reviewed
