General Information

Overview

Accurate analysis and assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions requires comprehensive knowledge of clinical tests of cardiovascular and respiratory function. In this unit, you will study advanced clinical diagnostic tests of cardiovascular and respiratory function and relate it to pathophysiology of cardiac and respiratory conditions. This will include study of cardiac function tests including haemodynamic, electrophysiological and angiographic cardiovascular measurement; and the study of respiratory function tests including lung volumes and capacities, pulmonary gas exchange, airway resistance, compliance and blood gas measurements. In preparation for clinical placement you will attain knowledge and skills needed to analyse cardiovascular and respiratory conditions within an ethical framework of best practice and patient safety.
