Cardiovascular
Understand the heart. Recognize the patterns. Connect them to patient care.
Heart function, circulation, assessment, common disorders, medications, and clinical nursing care — built so you finally understand why, not just what.

Lesson 1
The Heart: Blood Flow, Cardiac Function & Cardiac Output
How the heart moves blood — and why it matters at the bedside.
Your Cardiovascular Learning Path
Work through the foundation first, then explore how the heart breaks down. Available lessons are ready now; the rest are on the way.
Build the Foundation
Start here. Understand the pump, the cycle, and the output before any disease.
Cardiac Assessment
Turn physiology into bedside assessment — pulses, heart sounds, perfusion checks.
Electrical Conduction & ECG Foundations
How the electrical signal drives each beat, and how to read the basics.
Cardiac Diagnostics & Labs
Troponin, BNP, echocardiography, and what the nurse needs to know.
Understanding Hemodynamics
Preload, afterload, contractility, and cardiac output in real patients.
Coronary & Ischemic Conditions
When the heart's own blood supply fails.
