About this course
We treat the heart as a pump: the cardiac cycle, heart sounds, the ECG and blood-pressure control. Each lesson builds on the one before, so study them in order.
Built for Year 2, and a solid refresher before internal medicine.
What you'll learn
- Describe the phases of the cardiac cycle
- Read a normal ECG
- Explain how blood pressure is regulated
