Let's be honest, pharmacology is rarely a subject that PT students love taking, and the memorizing game can become exhausting. On the other hand, pharmacology can play a major role in a patient's recovery and should be highly considered when designing a patient's plan of care. This session will focus on pharmacology for the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. We will discuss the major pharmacological agents used with this patient population, their indications, contraindications and considerations for therapy and exercise.
