History of the development of the physiology of the cardiovascular system (from Halen to nowadays)

Abstract

The history of studying the cardiovascular system is a way that lasted more than a thousand years. The knowledge of scientists has changed from primitive ideas about the structure of the heart and vessels to high-tech methods of diagnosis and treatment. Purpose of the study. To familiarize scientists with the main stages of the historical development of the physiology of the cardiovascular system. Main part. The history of cardiology, counts more than one thousand years. Since ancient times, the work of the heart and blood vessels has been a mystery, and scientists have been collecting information on the work of the cardiovascular system for centuries, and have come from primitive ideas about the work of the heart and vessels to a broad understanding of the complex nervous and humoral regulation, surgery of the cardiovascular system. A breakthrough in the study of the physiology of the cardiovascular system was carried out by V. Harvey, who, through experiments on animals and on himself, established the presence of two circles of blood circulation. Modern research in the field of the cardiovascular system continues to develop in several directions. Conclusion. The history of the study of the cardiovascular system continues, today. Doctors and scientists are improving the methods of treatment, diagnosis and surgical tactics and today they create a story.
