BUILD A CLEAR FOUNDATION IN HEART FAILURE
Heart failure terminology can be confusing, and preload and afterload are often memorized rather than understood. Dr. Roger Seheult starts with the basic definitions, then illustrates how preload and afterload drive the physiology of heart failure.
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
