Cardiovascular physiology is the study of the heart and circulatory system. A number of medical professionals rely on cardiovascular physiology in their work, including pulmonologists, cardiologists, and cardiothoracic surgeons. Because the cardiovascular system is so important to healthy function of an organism, it is also covered extensively during medical education, ensuring that all medical practitioners understand the basic anatomy and physiology of the circulatory system and lungs.
