Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.

The course includes anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The most common diseases are also described.

Respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy is a field of growing interest and involvement in state rehabilitation services, both in hospitals and outpatient centers. In this sense, it is essential that they take part in the secondary prevention of ischemic heart disease programs and in the multidisciplinary care of prevalent diseases such as cystic fibrosis.

Pre-course requirements

Not specified.

Objectives

Acquire the knowledge of anatomy and pathophysiology required to understand and use the different techniques of physiotherapy know how to identify serious clinical situations that require urgent medical assessment.
