4 courses with the subject CVAS, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CVAS 235Introduction to Vascular Sonography 3:3:0
Provides the student with anatomy and pathophysiology of the venous, arterial and abdominal-visceral vascular systems. This course emphasizes normal structures, disease states, mechanisms of diseases, signs and symptoms, and risk factors commonly encountered in vascular disease states in the cardiovascular patient. Physical assessment and common clinical findings encountered during the evaluation of the cardiovascular patient with known vascular disease is also presented. Signature of the Cardiovascular Technology Program Director is required.
Introduces the student to the arterial, venous, and abdominal-visceral vascular system testing methods. Intra-cranial and extra-cranial arterial, upper and lower extremity arterial and venous, and abdominal-visceral vascular arterial and venous testing methods are discussed including direct and indirect testing methods. Interpretation of all clinical findings associated with vascular disease states are presented. Signature of the Cardiovascular Technology Program Director is required.
CVAS 237Vascular Hemodynamics and Doppler Physics 4:3:3
Enables the student to discover the Doppler principles of flow hemodynamics as they relate to the arterial and venous vascular systems. Through laboratory experience, this course covers units of measure, pressure and flow resistance, arterial and venous hemodynamics and direct and indirect methods used to assess vascular disease states. Ultrasound quality assurance and safety is also discussed. These principles are then applied to vascular imaging techniques in the laboratory. Signature of the Cardiovascular Technology Program Director is required.
Introduces the student to imaging procedures employed in the correlation and treatment of vascular abnormalities. This course discusses vascular angiography and interventions, pre-operative and intra-operative procedures, Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA), Computed Tomography Venography (CTV), Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA), Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV), nuclear medicine – Ventilation Perfusion scans, laboratory testing, and treatment options. Signature of the Cardiovascular Technology Program Director is required. 256
