Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
At the end of this course, the student will be able to describe the normal function of the cardiovascular system and its pathological conditions.
He will know the epidemiology, the classifications and the risk factors of the cardiovascular diseases.
He will be able to make a specific diagnosis after establishing a differential diagnosis from clinical signs and symptoms, and using diagnostic tools and technical examinations, knowing their pathophysiological background and operational characteristics, their indications, contraindications and risks.
He will be able to plan patient’s treatment, on short and long term.
He will be able to recommend preventive cardiovascular measures and counsel the patients taking into account evidence based medicine and patient’s opinion.
Content of UE
