Cardiovascular anatomy and Guytonian physiology for the ICU First Part: the four chambers and valves, the cardiac wall and microscopic structure, the cardiac cycle, the coronary arteries and their perfusion territories (LAD, circumflex, right; coronary dominance; diastolic flow), the conduction system (SA node to AV node to His-Purkinje), the great vessels and aortic-arch branches, the systemic and pulmonary circulations, the Frank-Starling mechanism, the Starling forces governing transcapillary fluid exchange, the venous-return and cardiac-function curves of Guyton, and the peripheral venous system relevant to central venous catheter insertion.
