VAS 220 - Upper and Lower Extremity Vasculature

3 Credits

Students in the course will learn the gross and cross sectional anatomy of the upper and lower peripheral arterial and venous systems. Students will review the physiology associated with peripheral arterial and venous anatomy and study the pathology commonly found in the peripheral arterial and venous diseases. Complete testing protocols will be explained in the classroom and practiced in the lab while reviewing the physical principles of physics related to peripheral arterial and venous disease. Finally various diagnostic studies and treatment options will be discussed. Prerequisites: DMS 100 , DMS 200 , DMS 205 , VAS 206  Co-requisite: DMS 202 , DMS 401 , VAS 210
