Learning outcomes

General aims:
Learn the conceptual basis of drug mechanisms of actions in order to understand how physio-pathological events in patients can be modified by therapeutic approaches and how drugs and physiotherapy may interact on a same subject
Know the mechanisms of action, the effects, the adverse reaction and the therapeutic significance of classes of drugs relevant in cardiology

Specific aims:
Goal of this module is to provide the student with the scientific knowledge required to:
• Understand the mechanisms of action of drugs responsible of their beneficial and adverse effects,
• Learn how clinical evaluation is applied to the study and industrial development of drugs,
• Know the rules governing drug-cell interaction and pharmacokinetics.
• Understand the rules of a rational approach to therapy
• Know the effects and the clinical use of the classes of drugs active on the cardiovascular system and relevant in the specific professional context.

Program

Programme of the course
