Course objectives
After completing this subject the students will be able to explain possibilities of modern methodologies in medicine (ECG, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, dopplerometry, molecular biology methodology, animal experiments and statistical evaluation of experimental data), specifically focused on experimental profile of Department of Pathophysiology-genetic background of complex diseases.
Learning outcomes
The student will explain the importance and principles of DNA Diagnostics to detect I/D polymorphism using PCR methodology, ACE
The student will explain the principle of ultrasound and dopplerometric examination of the blood vessels, the underlying pathology of peripheral vasculature (venous valvular insufficiency, ischemia, short circuits, steal syndromes)
The student interprets the continuous ECG record in experimental animal for some pathological conditions, will describe the findings on the record EKG
The student distinguishes ECG records in most commonly occurring arrhythmias
Student demonstrates knowledge of indications and principle 24 h-monitoring of blood pressure, physiological and pathological curves in   record
The student distinguishes between methods of testing blood pressure and heart rate, indications for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (AMTK), the development of blood pressure and heart rate during load tests (isometric burden, exercise)
The student demonstrates the basic static and dynamic parameters surveyed during the spirometric examination and their relationship to pulmonary obstructive and restrictive diseases
The student demonstrates understanding of diagnosis of diabetes load test (oGTT) in an animal model experimentally induced diabetes (alloxan)
The student shall identify clinically relevant parameters for description of the status of nutrition (calorimetry, BMI, WHR index, the weight, the skin-fold thickness, bioimpedance, DEXA)
