This course focuses on describing the pathophysiology of exercise that is attributable to the cardiovascular and related systems. Towards this end, this course aims to enhance the students’ understanding of the physiology of the cardiovascular system during exercise and merge this knowledge with maladaptive physiology mechanisms in diseased states that are exercise limiting. Complementing the course focus and aims, special attention will be placed on gas exchange and other forms of commonly used clinical exercise testing approaches to detect exercise-limiting pathophysiology in individuals with cardiovascular and related diseases.
