This chapter describes the pharmacology of the cardiovascular system as it applies to Emergency Medicine, and in particular the Primary FRCEM examination. The chapter outlines the key details of cardiac glycosides, diuretics, antiarrhythmics, beta-adrenoceptor blockers, hypertension and heart failure, nitrates and antianginal drugs, sympathomimetics, anticholinergics, anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, fibrinolytics, and lipid-regulating drugs. This chapter is laid out exactly following the RCEM syllabus, to allow easy reference and consolidation of learning.

This chapter describes the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system as it applies to Emergency Medicine, and in particular the Primary FRCEM examination. The chapter outlines the key details of the control of blood pressure and heart rate, cardiac output, blood flow, cardiac cycle, ECG, pharmacological manipulation of the heart, shock, oxygen delivery and consumption, body fluid homeostasis, crystalloid solutions, colloidal solutions, and exudates and transudates. This chapter is laid out exactly following the RCEM syllabus, to allow easy reference and consolidation of learning.

AbstractObesity is a growing worldwide epidemic with significant economic burden that carries with it impacts on every physiologic system including the cardiovascular system. Specifically, the risk of heart failure has been shown to increase dramatically in obese individuals. The purpose of this review is to provide background on the individual burdens of heart failure and obesity, followed by exploring proposed physiologic mechanisms that interconnect these conditions, and furthermore introduce treatment strategies for weight loss focusing on bariatric surgery. Review of the existing literature on patients with obesity and heart failure who have undergone bariatric surgery is presented, compared, and contrasted.
