HD student's PHY3171 Final Exam Notes

Description

CARDIOVASCULAR PHYSIOLOGY GOSPEL These notes are ~1 double sided page per lecture, without compromising on the required information (thus some are longer)! This was an amazing subject, a lab every other week, even less, and fun when we did do them. Manageable content and great preparation for the exam! All the thinking, sorting, analysing, processing and lecture attending has been done for you. The major points in each lecture are their own headings, with dot points of relevant information below. I have used lecture notes, lecturer's elaborations prescribed text books and additional readings to compile these notes. Topic list: Lecture 1 – Cardiovascular Disease ‘Hypertension’: Current and future directions in Research Lecture 2 – Cardiovascular Response to Stress Lecture 3 – Basic Neural Mechanisms in the Cardiovascular System Lecture 4 – Neural Mechanisms II: Reflex Control of the Circulation Lecture 5 – Hormones and the Cardiovascular system Lecture 6 – Hypertension Lecture 7 – Global Cardiovascular Disease Lecture 8 – CVD Risk Factors and Prevention Strategies Lecture 9 – Role of the kidneys in Long-Term Blood Pressure Regulation Lecture 10 – Role of the kidneys in Long-Term Blood Pressure Regulation Lecture 12 – Sex differences in Cardiovascular Disease Lecture 13 – Brain and Stroke Lecture 15 – Endothelial control of blood flow: novel mechanisms Lecture 16 – Developmental programming of cardiovascular diseases Lecture 17 – Sympathetic over-activity and Hypertension Lecture 18 – Heart Failure I Lecture 19 – Heart Failure II Lecture 20 – Kidney Disease Lecture 21 – Steroid hormones and Cardiovascular Disease
