Pathophysiology Course

What will I learn?

Delve into the Pathophysiology Course tailored for autopsy professionals, where you'll investigate the complexities of atherosclerosis (cholesterol deposition in arteries). Develop an understanding of its aetiology (causes), risk factors, and epidemiology. You will also examine autopsy findings through correlation with clinical history, microscopic examination, and macroscopic pathological features. Acquire cellular and molecular insights into plaque formation, the role of macrophages, and genetic influences. Relate pathophysiology to clinical outcomes, and learn about endothelial dysfunction, lipid accumulation, and inflammatory processes. Enhance your expertise in coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease, and reflect on the importance of pathophysiology in medical practice and future research.
