Cardiovascular Physiology

Cardiovascular Physiology is the study of the function of the heart and blood vessels. It seeks to understand how the body works to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells and how it removes waste products from the body. By understanding the physiological processes involved in the functioning of the cardiovascular system, healthcare professionals can diagnose and treat heart and vascular diseases, improve quality of life, and extend the lifespan of individuals. Cardiovascular Physiology is an essential component of modern medical research and practice, and its implications reach far beyond human health – it also plays a role in understanding animal physiology, environmental health, and climate change.
