— Advanced Cardiac Physiology & Pharmacology

Prerequisites & course information

Course Description: Detailed characterization of the mechanisms involved in cardiac excitation–contraction coupling, alterations that occur in heart disease and pharmacological interventions. Topics include cardiac contractile apparatus, action potential, Ca cycling, excitation–transcription coupling, cardiac inotropy, heart failure and arrhythmias. Learning Activities: Lecture 2 hour(s), Lecture/Discussion 1 hour(s). Enrollment Restriction(s): Open to graduate students from the Pharmacology and Toxicology, Molecular, Cellular and Integrated Physiology, Biomedical Engineering and Clinical Research Graduate Groups; other students (including undergraduates) may be accepted upon consultation with the instructors. Grade Mode: Letter. Learning Activities: Lecture 2 hour(s), Lecture/Discussion 1 hour(s).
