The Primary ( ) and Final ( ) FRCA examinations require an extensive knowledge of cardiovascular physiology. We have therefore written a new educational resource section on the subject of cardiovascular physiology and the measurement of cardiac output. The tutorials have been tailored to the FRCA syllabus and we have also added some past questions relevant to these topics.
