Cardiovascular Physiology

Learn cardiovascular physiology through this comprehensive 3-hour medical education video series designed for medical, nursing, and physician assistant students, as well as graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physiology and health sciences. Master fundamental concepts beginning with an overview of the cardiovascular system and progress through detailed examinations of cardiac action potentials and excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms. Explore cardiac mechanics including preload, afterload, contractility, ejection fraction, and cardiac output calculations. Analyze the cardiac cycle through pressure-volume loops to understand heart function dynamics. Study hemodynamic principles governing blood flow throughout the circulatory system. Investigate the effects of viscosity and turbulence on cardiovascular function. Examine the arterial system structure and blood pressure regulation mechanisms. Gain essential knowledge of cardiovascular physiology principles taught by an experienced physician using clear explanations suitable for health science education at multiple academic levels.
