Course contents :  
Part I : Anatomy

./

Part II : Neuroanatomy

Neuro-anatomy:
The course is intended to convey information on the anatomical and functional organisation of the vegetative nervous system.

Part III : Histology

Histology of the heart, of blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries) and of lymph vessels.

Part IV : Physiology

  • General organization of the cardiovascular system.
  • Functional study of the heart: electrical aspects.
  • Functional study of the heart: the mechanical aspects.
  • Study of the vascular system.
  • Cardiovascular responses to physiological or pathological situations.

Part V : General pathology

The courses in general pathology within this module concern heart infarcts and circulation disorders. We will describe the general physiopathological mechanisms that account for the development of infarcts, namely arteriosclerosis, cleft in the atheromatous plaque, formation of thrombus, vascular occlusion, ischemia, and tissular necrosis. Next, we will turn to a particular case of infarct: namely myocardial infarction. We will consider circumstances in which it can occur as well as its physiopathological features. The course on circulation disorders will focus on edema, embolism and thromboses.

Part VI : Special pathology

Introduction to cardiopathies (heart troubles) that include heart revalidation in therapeutic care: stable angor, unstable angor, acute infarcts of the heart muscle, valvulopathies, hypertension, heart deficiency.

Part VII : Physiotherapy

The course in physiotherapy introduces principles of reeducation related to heart problems.

Learning outcomes of the course :  
Part I : Anatomy

./

Part II : Neuroanatomy

Neuro-anatomy:
Knowing about the anatomical and functional organisation of the vegetative nervous system makes it easier for students to understand how cardiovascular functions regulate themselves and why they may go wrong in pathological conditions.

Part III : Histology

Relate function and histology of the described structures.

Part IV : Physiology

Knowledge of the elements listed in the overview

Part V : General pathology

Describe the physio-pathological mechanisms involved in the appearance and development of prevailing pathologies. Notions taught in this course are necessary to understand the course in special pathology.

Part VI : Special pathology

Bring students to understand major tenets in pathogenesis, clinical presentation, stages in the treatment of considered diseases.

Part VII : Physiotherapy

Theoretical and practical introduction to reeducation treatments adapted to various heart pathologies by integrating them into a multidisciplinary approach.

Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :  
Part I : Anatomy

Part II : Neuroanatomy

Neuro-anatomy:
Elementary information on the Anatomy of the nervous system as taught in secondary schools and in the introductory course to human anatomy.

Part III : Histology

Part IV : Physiology

./

Part V : General pathology
