The first experiment discusses the \'Examination of cardiovascular system\' under four headings, i.e. Inspection, Palpation, Percussion and Auscultation. Second experiment describes \'Examination of jugular venous pulse and Estimation of jugular venous pressure\'. The third and fourth experiments highlight the \'Method of measurement of Arterial blood pressure\' and \'Effect of change in posture and different types of Exercise on blood pressure\' respectively. The fifth and sixth experiments discuss \'Clinical examination of arterial pulse\' and various \'Cardiovascular endurance tests to assess the aerobic fitnessz\' of an individual.
