Cardiac Diagnostics CPU
Introduction
In the Cardiac Diagnostics CPU, students will examine anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, focusing on the heart and its properties. Students will practice aseptic procedures while taking basic vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. Students will explore how various diagnostic procedures are performed. They will also learn basic interpretation of abnormal anatomy in CT scans using the Cardiac CT software and EKGs.
