About the Heart Course
The Heart Course:
- makes use of consented, real-case video footage
- employs case-based learning
- shows real cardiovascular anatomy with case applications in CPB and CV surgery
- utilizes varied cardiovascular case types, including CV surgery and CPB, to add depth to anatomy fundamentals
After completing the course, perfusionists, CV surgeons and related professionals will have
- a lifetime mental library of basic, real cardiovascular anatomy to ground future work with
- Digitized resources
- Radiology
- Simulation
- Product analysis
- improved ability (in CV surgery and CPB) to analyze and interpret:
- Surgical changes
- Complications
- Pathology
- Healing
- broadened understanding of the cardiovascular system in health and disease based on experience with real patients
- experience with evidence-based process to analyze complications and outcomes.
