To be able to relate, compare and understand how different components of the cardiovascular system interact with other organ systems and diseases.
Contents of the course The course contains the following topics: cardiovascular physiology with focus on cardiac and smooth muscle cell contraction, cardiovascular disease genetics, ischemic heart disease, hypertension, heart failure, and implications of diabetes and systemic inflammatory disorders on cardiovascular diseases.
Teaching and learning activities The course is a full-time one week course. The teaching is mainly in lecture/seminar form but also includes project work with group discussions. Time will be dedicated for an individual task focusing on different cardiovascular diseases. The task will be presented at the end of the course followed by open discussions.
