Tutorials

The following tutorials have been developed as an aid to learning cardiovascular drugs. The two different tutorial streams approach learning about cardiovascular drugs using either Therapeutic Drug Class or Clinical Disorder as the reference point for learning, the latter of which is more inclusive by addressing related physiologic and pathophysiologic topics awell as pharmacology. In contrast, the Therapeutic Drug Class focuses on the pharmacology of different drug classes.

The student is encouraged to go not only to the initial link associated with each question, but also to use hyperlinks to expand upon the physiologic and pharmacologic concepts associated with the question.

Therapeutic Drug Class	Clinical Disorder
Antianginal	Angina
Antiarrhythmic	Arrhythmias
Antihypertensive	Edema
Cardioinhibitory	Heart Failure
Cardiostimulatory	Systemic Hypertension
Diuretic	Pulmonary Hypertension
Pressor	Hypotension
Vasoconstrictor	Myocardial Infarction
Vasodilator
