Hemodynamics

Here is a secret about the cardiovascular system: it is, at its core, just a magnificent plumbing and electrical network. When we study hemodynamics, we aren't studying abstract medicine; we are studying physics. We are studying fluid dynamics, resistance, electrical circuits, and the incredible mechanical pump that keeps the whole operation running.

If you can understand how a pump moves fluid through pipes, you can understand hemodynamics. If you can understand the wiring that makes the pump squeeze, you can master electrocardiograms. Let's pull back the curtain on this beautifully engineered system so you can ace the NCLEX-RN and, more importantly, save lives.
