1 Forward

The following is a list of topics that were covered in the cardiovascular section of the Bioengineering 3202 course in the 2006 edition. I expect students to be familiar with each of the concepts and ideas and will draw from this list for the final exam.

Note: although the exam period is two hours, I will organize the exam similarly to the midterms, i.e., to take about an hour to complete.

2 For Midterm #2

2.1 Cardiac Electrophysiology

  1. Composition and origin of cardiac action potential
  2. Pacemakers and regulation of heart rate
  3. Regulation of cardiac contraction and the Frank-Starling mechanism
  4. Organization of cardiac tissue and electrical conduction
  5. Origins and consequences of tissue anisotropy
  6. Specialized conduction system
  7. Sources and volume conductor for the ECG

2.2 Cardiac Mechanics

  1. Mechanisms of electrical/contraction (EC) coupling
  2. Regulation of contraction
  3. Contraction of tissue and the whole heart, the Wigger's diagram
