Introduction

Welcome to the Cardiovascular Module! This is a very exciting module that

will be very important to your future work as doctors. The module has been

designed in a novel way that will make your learning both interesting and

productive.

During this module, you will be encouraged to learn the structure and function

of the cardiovascular system in an integrated manner: this means that what was

previously categorized into subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology and

Biochemistry, will be learnt and assessed together (horizontal integration). We

will also help you learn the basic sciences in a way that is relevant to their

clinical applications (vertical integration). We are taking this approach in order

to prepare you better for your future work as doctors, where patients will come

to you with clinical problems, which are not categorized by discipline names.

In order to help you learn in this integrated manner, we have arranged the

learning of basic sciences around a few key health-related situations (real life

situations), which you are likely to encounter as first year medical students. You

will be expected to think about these scenarios and complete worksheets. You

may do this individually or with your colleagues. It will also help to focus your

attention on what you need to gain from the lectures, practicals and tutorials

that have been scheduled during this module.

General Objectives

At the end of the cardiovascular module, the student should be able to:

1. explain the normal structure of the heart, including its musculature,

coverings, blood supply, nerve supply and its development.

2. explain the surrounding thoracic structures, surface marking of heart and

great vessels

3. explain the normal function of the cardiovascular system by learning and

applying the relevant basic sciences.

4. apply the above knowledge to a few common real life situations

(Hypertension, Myocardial Infarction, Shock, Congenital heart disease ) to

explain how the anatomy, physiology and biochemistry are altered in the

given situations.

Real life situation-1

Myocardial Infarction

Topic: Myocardial Infarction

Scenario:

You are a first year medical student. One evening, your friend from next door,

who is also a first year medical student, rushes to your home saying that his

father is ill. He asks you to come and help.

You find that your friend’s father is complaining of a severe chest pain. You

also notice that he is sweating, and he complains that he feels ‘vomitish’.

You and your friend are unsure of what to do, but from what you have heard,

you feel that the patient needs immediate medical attention. You calm the

patient, and arrange for him to be transported to the teaching hospital of your

medical faculty. The patient receives immediate treatment and undergoes a

number of investigations.

After a few days, your friend comes over to thank you, and says that the

diagnosis card indicated that his father had a ‘myocardial infarct’. He says that

he would like to know more about how to look after his father from now on, and

also wants to understand more about the disease. He asks whether you could

join him in finding out the relevant information.

You are keen to find out as much as possible to help your friend. You realize

that you already know a few things about ‘heart attacks’, but you also know that

you are unsure about many aspects. That evening, you decide to make a list of

what you already know, and the issues that you would like to find out more

about.

You then wonder how you can find out the necessary information. You are

aware that a number of lectures, practicals and tutorials are scheduled in your

medical course, and decide to look through your timetable to see whether they

may be useful. You realize that these will help you with only some of the

learning issues that you have listed above, but you decide to concentrate on

these only at this stage.

You decide to look for other sources of information that may be helpful, at a

later stage.

Real life situation-2

Hypertension

Topic: Hypertension

Scenario:

Your uncle is thrilled to hear that you have entered the medical faculty. He

comes to you and says that now he can depend on you to measure his blood

pressure regularly, and provide necessary advice. You reluctantly tell him that

you are only a first year medical student, and that you are as yet unable to help

him. You advise him to continue visiting his regular doctor, but promise to start

helping him as soon as possible.

You are now keen to find out more about blood pressure, how the body controls

it normally, and what causes blood pressure to be high in some persons. You

decide to make a set of notes that will help you understand this condition better.

As a first step, you make a list of what you already know about blood pressure

and what more you would like to find out in order to understand this condition

better.

You are aware that a cardiovascular module is available in your medical course,

and eagerly await its commencement. You learn as much as possible about the

areas that you identified above, and complete your set of notes as far as

possible. You become aware that you can only address some of the areas at this

stage of your medical study, and decide that this is sufficient for now.

You carefully note down the areas that you want to learn about later in your

medical course.

Real Life Situation-3

Shock

Topic: Shock

Scenario:

You are a first year medical student. On your way to the hostel after lectures

you see a group of people calling for help. When you go to the spot you see a

middle aged man lying on the road with a stab injury on the left lower aspect of

the chest. There is bleeding from the wound.

After a few minutes paramedics arrive at the scene and check his pulse and

blood pressure. His blood pressure was 90/60mmHg and pulse rate was 120

beats/min. The paramedics mention the “shock”. They elevate his legs and

insert two cannulae and start transfusion of intravenous fluids. The patient is

then rushed to the Kalubowila hospital.

Now you are interested in finding out what the paramedics meant by the term

“shock” and how it occurs. You know your CVS module is the next module.

Before the commencement of that module, you decide to list out what you

would like to learn about shock and related topics. You then proceed to make

Real Life Situation-4

Congenital heart disease

Topic: Congenital heart disease

Scenario:

You are a first year medical student. One of your neighbor visits your

home, with her 3 months old child seeking your help to know details in the

diagnosis card given at CSTH about her child’s health condition. On inquiry,

she further states that her child’s lips were turning to bluish colour gradually

over last two months. Child also experienced sudden loss of conscious attacks.

As you keenly went through the diagnosis card it further stated, that child was

diagnosed as having Tetralogy of Fallot.

Even though you didn’t start CVS module, you are interested in finding

out what the term “Tetralogy of Fallot” means and why the child turned into

blue. You know your CVS module is the next module. As you glance through

the contents of the CVS module, you found the Tetralogy of Fallot comes under

the congenital heart disease. You also got to be aware that a sound knowledge

in development of the heart is essential in better understanding. With the core

knowledge you had acquired in basic embryology, you proceed to learn about

the development of the heart with the help of lecture, text books and accepted

references using internet. (Please go to peer reviewed referenced sites)
