Course content
The course "Physics of the Cardiovascular System" examines the physical basis of the processes that occur in the cardiovascular system at all levels of its organization, starting from the molecular and cellular level and ending with the system as a whole; modern methods of cardiovascular system research are studied; physical phenomena and processes that take place during its functioning. The goal of studying the discipline is to obtain deep and systematic knowledge related to the physical foundations of the mechanisms of the functioning of the cardiovascular system and the skills of their practical application in conducting fundamental and applied medical and biological research. The educational task of the course consists in students mastering the skills of developing, planning and conducting research and modeling the processes of functioning of the human cardiovascular system.
