TEACHING AND LEARNING
• Different types of teaching sessions– Lectures, workshops– SLM, SIM, PSD, Lab– CBL
• Different teaching styles• Be prepared, be engaged• Resources
– Lilly, LS, éd., Pathophysiology of Heart Disease, 5e édition, 2011
CARDIO BLOCK
• What students have liked best about Cardio:
– Structure, organization, flow
– CBL tutors, lecturers, teachers
– Textbook: Lilly
ANATOMY
• A complex organ, more than meets the eye!!!• This is not what the human heart looks like…
• What the heart really looks like:
Size :Human fist
Weight :300 g (women)325 g (men)
HEART POSITION
ANATOMY
THE HEART IS A PUMP
• Inlets• Priming Chambers• Valves• Pumping
Chambers• Valves• Outlets
THE HEART IS A DOUBLE PUMP
Right Heart Left Heart
Inlet Venae Cavae Pulmonary veins
Intake ports Right atrium Left atrium
Valves Tricuspid valve Mitral valve
Motor Right ventricle Left ventricle
Valves Pulmonic valve Aortic valve
Discharge ports Pulmonary artery Aorta
•Triggered and coordinated by an integrated electrical system…
COMPLEX MATCHED ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ACTIVITY
Distinct territories of coupled electrical and mechanical activity
PHYSIOLOGY
• Heart main function: mediates blood oxygenation
Nutrients + O2↓
Energy + CO2
HOW DOES IT DO THAT?
In 2 steps:1. It receives (relatively) deoxygenated (and
CO2-rich) blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs;
2. It receives oxygenated (and CO2-poor) blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body
QUESTION 1: TRUE OR FALSE?
Venous (“deoxygenated”) blood is blue:
QUESTION 1: TRUE OR FALSE?
Venous (“deoxygenated”) blood is blue: FALSE!
Venous blood is dark red:Arterial blood is bright red:
QUESTION 2
• How many times will the average heart beat over the course of a lifetime?
1. 3 million times2. 3 billion times3. 3 trillion times4. 3 quadrillion times
QUESTION 3
• What is the lowest recorded resting (physiologic) heart rate recorded in human?
1. 48 bpm2. 38 bpm3. 28 bpm4. 18 bpm
Martin Brady (UK, b. 24 March 1969) who was tested at the Guernsey Chest and Heart Unit, Channel Islands, UK on 11 August 2005.
CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE
• So much emphasis is placed on the fancy and the expensive…
CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE
• But so much of what cardiovascular medicine has to offer is simple and cheap:
CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE
• Diagnosing heart disease by history:
– “Doctor, I get a squeezing discomfort in the center of my chest every time I carry the laundry back up from the basement.”
THE STETHOSCOPE…
• Diagnosing heart disease on physical examination:
PHYSICAL EXAM SKILLS
• Practice makes perfect• Be patient• Easier to learn with pathology• Use the resources available to you
– Heart sounds CD and websites– Harvey the manequin (SIM centre)– Important website (designed by a local
cardiologist)http://www.cvtoolbox.com
CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE
• Diagnosing heart disease with simple investigations: ECG
CARDIO SKILLS TEACHING WEBSITE
• www.teachingmedicine.com• Create a login/password• You will receive an email/link inviting to
participate in this strongly recommended online modules
• Non-mandatory modules – Week 1:
• Module 1: Basic Electric Stuff• Module 2: Analyze the Waveforms• http://www.teachingmedicine.com/faculty.aspx
CARDIOVASCULAR SPECIALTY MEDICINE
• Postgraduate Training• Not as bad as it seems…

THE HEART IS #1
It is a vital organ Simple yet complex It is a selfless organ
Leading cause of death in both men and women
#1 = CV disease #2 = Infectious disease #3 = malignancy

FINAL THOUGHTS
• CBL tutors are first-line resources for questions about content
• Questions about exam format– Unit Chair
• Other questions: ngauthier@toh.on.ca – cc: class president(s)
NO SUCH THING AS A LITTLE HEART ATTACK
