Learning objectives

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:


Knowledge:

Detailed physiological knowledge on regulatory mechanisms for the cardiovascular system in addition to pathophysiology. The student are expected to gain insight into special methods of relevance within the field – ranging from evaluation with imaging, Doppler and tracer techniques to sampling of tissue or blood, assessment of neural activity. Knowledge on common intervention techniques e.g. manipulation with blood volume, vasodilation, neural blocking, baroreceptors etc.


Skills:

The student will get hand on experience with some of the available techniques (Doppler flow, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging of the heart, determination of cardiac output and blood volume, evaluation of arterial baroreceptor function), experiments on animals and work with study design. Oral presentation of project etc.


Competences:

The student will be able to integrate knowledge from the different "disciplines" (methods and areas of interest) – evaluate strength/weaknesses of measures/study design and provide realistic perspectives on own findings.


Content

This course covers important theoretical and practical aspects of methods in integrative human cardiovascular studies. The purpose is to provide the participants with knowledge of advantages and pitfalls of these methods during lectures and demonstrating methods and allow participants hands-on experience during practical sessions. Complete course program will be available at www.dcacademy.dk ahead of the course start.


Participants

PhD students working with cardiovascular physiology/pathophysiology – i.e. medical, human biology, human physiology or animal biology.


Relevance to graduate programmes

The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programs at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen:
Cardiovascular Research Clinical Research Basic and Clinical Research in Musculoskeletal and Oral Sciences


Language

English.


Form

33 lectures. 8 hours of laboratory-experiments/practical (3 workshops with participant demonstrations and in vivo demonstrations. Homework required (reading of background material + oral presentation of Ph.D. project). Evaluation/exam- knowledge review.
