    Study Notes

    Heart Valves

    • Regulate blood flow between heart chambers and into major blood vessels
    • Prevent backflow of blood, ensuring it flows in one direction
    • Located at the exit of each heart chamber, including the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) and semilunar valves (pulmonary and aortic)

    Consequences of Valve Dysfunction

    • Heart failure, stroke, or death due to improperly pumped blood
    • Backflow of blood, causing congestion, swelling, and fatigue
    • Increased pressure on the heart, leading to hypertrophy and further complications

    Pharmacy Profession

    • A Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree is typically required to become a pharmacist
    • A Bachelor of Pharmacy (B Pharm) program covers subjects such as pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmaceutics
    • Primary focus of pharmaceutical care is to optimize patient outcomes through appropriate medication use and management
