Cardiovascular System (CVS) Module 3rd Year

📘 Step 1. Curriculum Coverage

This topic integrates structural myocardial disease with clinical heart failure, pulmonary edema and the major drug groups used in heart failure. Cardiomyopathies are covered here from the breathlessness/heart-failure perspective; the sudden-death/risk-stratification aspect of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was already placed in Theme 1, so it will not be repeated unnecessarily.

🔬 Pathology

 

🔹 Pathology — Congestive Heart Failure
• Describe the types, etiology, pathogenesis and clinical features of congestive heart failure

🔹 Pathology — Cardiomyopathies
• Describe the pathological patterns, causes, morphological changes and clinical features of cardiomyopathies

 

💊 Pharmacology

 

🔹 Pharmacology — Drugs Used in Heart Failure
• Define the different classes of drugs used in the treatment of heart failure
• Explain the pharmacological effects, clinical uses, adverse effects and drug interactions of digitalis glycosides
• Explain the signs, symptoms and treatment of digoxin overdose
• Enlist positive inotropic drugs other than digoxin that are used in heart failure

🔹 Pharmacology — Diuretics in Heart Failure
• Classify the five major groups of diuretic drugs and relate them to their site of action
• Discuss the mechanism of action, clinical applications and adverse effects of carbonic anhydrase enzyme inhibitors
• Discuss the mechanism of action, clinical applications and adverse effects of osmotic diuretics
• Discuss the mechanism of action, clinical applications and adverse effects of thiazide diuretics
• Discuss the mechanism of action, clinical applications and adverse effects of loop diuretics
• Discuss the mechanism of action, clinical applications and adverse effects of potassium-sparing diuretics
• Enlist potassium-sparing and potassium-losing diuretics

🩺 Medicine & Allied Clinical Integration

 

  • Enlist and explain causes of heart failure
    • Describe workup and management of heart failure
    • Discuss workup and management of pulmonary edema

 

📊 PRIME / Research / Professionalism

 

• Perform SWOT analysis for a particular task
