Module: DISEASES OF CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Contents:
After hints of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology,, it will be showed the approach for the pathophysiological assessment and clinical management of the major relevant cardiovascular syndromes or pathologies, such as: heart failure, ischemic heart disease, valvulopathies, arrhythmias, syncope, pericardium/myocarditis


Module: THORACIC SURGERY
- Fluid dynamics in medicine;
- Statics of fluids: blood pressure;
- Twodimensional Poiseuille flow and Hagen-Poiseuille flow;
- Hydrodynamic resistance of vessels and airways;
- Flow in actual vessels: effect of the vessel geometry and elasticity;
- Fundamentals of blood rheology;
- Fluid dynamics of the cardiovascular system, some of its pathologies, and protheses;
- Fluid dynamics of the respiratory system and of some of its pathologies.
