Cardiovascular

This is the biggest unit this semester and extremely important. For those of you who don't deserve to be nurses, you'll get a chance to redeem yourself (hint, the answer is aspirin). This unit builds heavily on last semester and renal. Review the peripheral nervous system, inflammation, and anticoagulants/antiplatelets. You will also need to memorize the CK-MB and Troponin lab values. The unit is broken up into:

  • Blood pressure
  • Arterial and venous diseases
  • Coronary Artery Disease and Myocardial Infarction
  • Dysrhythmias and Heart Failure

This is traditionally the unit that students do the worst in. Do yourself a favor. Prove me wrong.
