Base Knowledge
The student must:
- Know simple principles of cardiac and pulmonary biology and physiology.
- Be available to reflect and understand the evolution of Clinical Physiology, its characteristics and main contexts of action.
Teaching Methodologies
The teaching of the program contents will be done mainly through oral exposure, complemented with audio-visual methods, always appealing to the direct intervention of the students, favouring openly an abundant iconography instead of the detriment of a theoretical-descriptive teaching. Students will be evaluated through a summary written test, consisting of questions that evaluate the extent and depth of the theoretical knowledge acquired in the subject and the ability of practical application of that knowledge to everyday situations and the specific scientific area of the course.
Learning Results
The student must acquire knowledge of:
• Methods and techniques for the diagnosis of cardiac, respiratory, neurological and vascular diseases.
• It is intended to provide students with an overall view of the technology of diagnostic methods in Cardiopneumoplogy and neurophysiology.
The student must acquire skills of:
• For the reflection on the profession’s nature, their characteristics and performance contexts
• Assume itself as an agent for the provision of clinical acts to the patient, seeing technology as a means and not as the goal.
The student must acquire competences of:
• Develop the ability to retain and in the future expand their knowledge in cardiac anatomic physiopathology, pulmonary, vascular and neurological.
• At the end of the curricular unit, it is expected that the student will be able to: know the indications and limitations of the methods studied; Identify and interpret physiological patterns and its variants.
