CLS 6220L - Cardiology and Pulmonology Lab

Credit(s): 0.50

How do cardiovascular and pulmonary physical examinations confirm our findings in history taking and support our working diagnosis in our patients? In this course, we will learn how pathology translates into abnormal physical exam findings including a review of cardiac murmurs, irregular heart rates and rhythms, and extra lung sounds. We learn how to use medical equipment to further examine heart and lung function such as electrocardiograms and spirometry. We will apply our skills and knowledge in the murmur lab where we will be auscultating guest patients with heart murmurs. This course complements the material learned in the Cardiology and Pulmonology Lecture and Tutorial courses. Corequisite(s): CLS 6220 , CLS 6220T . Note: Additional fee required.
