About cardiovascular pharmacology notes
GoConqr OriginalExplore cardiovascular pharmacology notes
These user-made notes approach the unit through different topics and levels of detail. The lecture notes on lipid-lowering drugs begin with lipoproteins, while the notes on cardiac contractility introduce heart failure. Other resources cover vascular tone, cardiac rhythm and anti-arrhythmic drugs.
A useful starting point is Cardiovascular and Respiratory if you want notes that list several groups of hypertension drugs. For a narrower focus, the lecture notes on cardiac rhythm cover conduction, action potentials and antidysrhythmic drugs.
Revise with notes
Read one section, then close the note and recall the drug groups or concepts it covered. Return to the text to check what you missed. If you want to see relationships between groups, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use a quiz when you want to check your recall.
Choose a note that fits your current topic and work through it at your own pace.
Frequently asked questions
Which note could I start with?
Cardiovascular and Respiratory is an option if you want to review several groups of hypertension drugs in one note. For a more focused topic, the lecture notes on lipid-lowering drugs start with lipoproteins. Your choice can follow the topic you are currently studying.
Are these notes free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users, so you can explore different approaches to topics such as cardiac rhythm, vascular tone and cardiovascular drugs.
Who are these notes for?
The collection includes resources at university and professional levels. University students and professional candidates can use them to review cardiovascular drug topics, and teachers can find material for teaching. The notes range from introductions to focused material on anti-arrhythmic drugs and heart failure.
