Unit 3: Cardiovascular/Hematologic Pharmacology
Cardiovascular/Hematologic Pharmacology
Welcome to Unit 3 of Advanced Pharmacology!
Angina is a clinical symptom often associated with physical exertion. Acute and chronic angina is approached differently. This condition is often concomitant with diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Risk stratification will be discussed, along with rational drug selection and treatment algorithms.Additionally, this week will include hyperlipidemia. There are familial tendencies as well as lifestyle considerations when addressing this topic. This unit will explore treatment options and criteria for improve lipid profiles of your patients.Unit Learning Objectives
- Examine the principles of pathophysiology and therapeutics that direct the pharmacotherapeutic interventions for cardiovascular and hematologic conditions.
- Analyze the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic actions of agents used for management of cardiovascular and hematologic conditions.
- Gather and apply the evidence for pharmacotherapeutic interventions in a patients with cardiovascular and hematologic conditions.
