Molecular Cardiac Physiology BPK 412 (3)
This course entails a detailed analysis of the molecular and cellular basis of cardiac function. The material will be derived from myriad disciplines including: structure (histology and ultrastructure, molecular), biophysics, biomechanics, physiology, electrophysiology, biochemistry and molecular biology. A particular emphasis will be placed on the mechanisms by which inherited arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies manifest as a pathological phenotype. Prerequisite: BPK (or KIN) 305. Students with credit for KIN 412 may not repeat this course for further credit.
