Student knows: W1: the issues of the scientific discipline - biological sciences, including the development, structure, and function of the human body in normal and pathological conditions. W2: the issues of the scientific discipline - medical sciences, including the etiology, pathomechanism, symptoms and course of the most common diseases. A.W2: types of imaging methods, principles of their implementation and their diagnostic value (X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging). A.W10: the mechanism of action of pharmacological agents used in various human diseases and systems, the principles of their administration and their limitations and side effects, as well as the impact of these agents on the patient's performance due to the need to include it in the planning of physiotherapy. A.W18: general health assessment methods and symptoms of basic diseases. A.W19: methods of assessing basic human life functions in a state of health or life threatening. D.W3: etiology, pathomechanism, symptoms, and course of the most common diseases in cardiology and cardiac surgery. D.W4: general principles of diagnosis and treatment of the most common diseases in cardiology and cardiac surgery. D.W6: general principles of performing medical interview and physical examination in the field of cardiology D.W7: principles of interpretations of the additional tests in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and cardiological physiotherapy, including ECG, cardiac echo, ECG functional tests, clinical assessment of the health of a patient with cardiac disease according to various scales, in the scope of safe use of physiotherapy methods D.W8: results of the stress tests in the cardiological and pulmonological physiotherapy (ergospirometry, treadmill stress test, bicycle ergometer stress test). Heart failure NYHA scale and value of the metabolic equivalent MET. D.W15: principles of treatment of the unconscious patient, patient with acute heart failure, acute respiratory failure, or shock.

Student can: A.U4: measure and interpret results of basic indicators of cardiovascular function (heart rate, blood pressure), blood morphology, static and dynamic indicators of the respiratory system. A.U6: perform the assessment of exercise capacity, exercise tolerance, exercise tolerance, fatigue and overtraining level. A.U14: conduct a medical interview and analyze the information to perform physiotherapy. A.U15: recognize health or life-threatening situations and perform qualified first aid in those situations and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults and children. C.U5: construct medical training, including a variety of exercises, and adapt them to the needs of the exercisers. C.U6: select individual exercises for people with various functional disorders and abilities and teach them methodically to perform them. C.U13: instruct people with special needs, including people with disabilities, about various forms of adapted physical activity. C.U17: undertake activities promoting a healthy lifestyle. D.U28: conduct basic measurements and functional tests with safety precautions, including heart rate measurement, blood pressure measurement, walk test, stand-up-walk test, functional test on a treadmill according to the Bruce protocol and the modified Naughton protocol and stress test on a cycloergometer. D.U29: plan and select a patient with heart failure, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias and acquired heart defects. D.U30: plan, select - depending on the clinical and functional state of the patient - and perform physiotherapy procedures in patients qualified for heart surgery, after cardiac surgery, with an implanted pacemaker and after treatment with interventional cardiology methods. D.U31: instruct the patient about the breathing exercises and relaxation techniques in cardiac physiotherapy D.U32: instruct the patient with cardiovascular disease about the exercises at home and physical activity as the secondary prevention method D.U33: perform functional tests of the respiratory system, including spirometry and interpret the results of a spirometry test, stress test and gasometry test.

Student is ready to: K1: work in an interdisciplinary team ensuring continuity of patient care K2: independently perform the assigned tasks and properly organize own work and take responsibility for it K3: perform an assessment of exercise capacity, exercise tolerance, fatigue and overtraining level K4: conduct a medical interview and analyze the information to perform physiotherapy. K5: recognize health or life-threatening situations and perform qualified first aid in those situations and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults and children.

LECTURE: information lecture, methods for presenting content PRACTICAL CLASSES: • case analysis • didactic discussion • brainstorm • creating projects SELF EDUCATION • reading research papers Lectures will be conducted remotely

- content-presentation-oriented methods

compulsory course

The subject provides knowledge in the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. Pathophysiology and diagnosis of the most common cardiovascular diseases.

The basis for passing the lectures and practical classes is 100% attendance, the compulsory reading of the provided materials and active participation.

The basis for passing the subject (credit with a grade) is an end-test.
The subject ends with a test - 20 questions, closed assignments, 1 point per question. The condition for passing the test is obtaining a minimum of 60% of correct answers.

Points-> Grade
0 – 11 – 2,0
12 - 14 –> 3,0
15 -> 3,5
