CVP 124 - Vascular Hemodynamics

3 credit hours

Class focuses on the physiology and hemodynamics of blood flow within the arterial and venous systems throughout the body. Characteristics of flow to be discussed will consist of: potential and kinetic energy, resistance, pressure, velocity, volumetric flow, energy gradients, Poiseuille’s Law, Bernoulli’s Equation, types of flow characteristics, and Reynolds Number. Prerequisites: Core, CV 101, CVP 136, CVP 137; Corequisites: CVP 123
