Course objectiveTo learn the properties of cardiac muscle, excitation-contraction coupling, cardiac cycle, ECG and regulatory mechanism of cardiac activity and the effect of different physiological condition on cardiac activity. 
Learning outcomes
  1. express the properties of action potential, the conduction system and the excitation-contraction coupling of the heart
  2. discuss the intracardiac pressure changes during cardiac cycle
  3. express the functions of cardiac valves and explain the heart sounds
  4. list the regulatory mechanism of cardiac pumping activity and the regulatory mechanism of cardiac rhythm
  5. match the cardiac cycle and electrocardiogram (ECG), express the waves on the ECG and apply vector analysis of ECG
  6. express cardiac work, the properties of cardiac muscle metabolism and explain the changes of cardiac work during exercise
  7. make same experiments on frog heart muscle preparation
  8. record the heart sound and ECG, and analyze the vector of human ECG
Course ContentThis lecture contains the properties of cardiac muscle, excitation-contraction coupling, cardiac cycle, ECG and regulatory mechanism of cardiac activity and the effect of different physiological condition on cardiac activity.
