CDS 120 - Cardio Pathophysiology I

Institution:

Lackawanna College

Subject:

Cardiac Sonography

Description:

Students in this course will have an understanding of the etiologies, clinical manifestations, morphological changes, and sequelae and typical pathways of cardiac diseases covered in this section. Of course the focus will be on the role of the sonographer and echocardiography in identifying and assessing these diseases. Be aware that the pathology dealt with in this section will intersect with that covered in Pathophysiology I; this redundancy (review) is necessary and intentional. Over the course of the class, a large amount of information on cardiac pathophysiology that was not covered in the first section will be presented with using a traditional teaching style. This includes lecture and reviews, scrutiny of still images and echo clips, frequent testing, a student presentation and creation of an outline. Any additional resources will be provided by the instructor, but is recommended that the student consult additional general texts on cardiac disease while preparing their outlines and presentation.
