About Course

The Cardiovascular System module provides an all-encompassing exploration of the anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, diagnostics, and therapeutics associated with cardiovascular health and diseases. This module is meticulously structured into foundational concepts, disease-focused pathophysiology, therapeutic strategies, and advanced diagnostic techniques. It is designed to equip pharmacy students with the essential knowledge and skills needed to understand cardiovascular conditions and their management.

The module covers key cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and dyslipidaemia, along with their pharmacological and non-pharmacological management. It also explores diagnostic tools like ECG, echocardiography, and cardiac biomarkers, along with emerging therapies and preventative strategies. Students can assess their knowledge with quizzes and case-based assessments, while additional resources provide quick reference guides for practical use.
