This module provides a comprehensive introduction to cardiovascular pathology, including the structure and function of the heart and vascular system, fundamental disease mechanisms, and the role of pathology in cardiovascular diagnosis. Learners will gain a strong foundation in cardiovascular anatomy, physiology, and pathological terminology essential for advanced study.

This module focuses on the microscopic structure of cardiovascular tissues and introduces laboratory methodologies used in cardiovascular pathology. Students will learn specimen handling, tissue processing, staining methods, immunohistochemistry, and molecular diagnostic approaches relevant to cardiovascular diseases.

This module explores developmental abnormalities of the heart and great vessels. Students will study embryological development, congenital malformations, pathological classification systems, and diagnostic approaches used in evaluating congenital cardiovascular disorders.

This module examines the pathology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, emphasizing mechanisms of plaque formation, progression, instability, and complications. Learners will understand the pathological basis of ischemic heart disease and sudden cardiac death.

This module provides detailed knowledge of myocardial ischemia and infarction. Students will study pathological changes occurring during acute and chronic infarction, infarct healing, complications, and clinicopathological correlations.

This module covers inherited and acquired diseases affecting the myocardium. Learners will explore diagnostic criteria, genetic factors, histopathological findings, and clinical implications of cardiomyopathies and myocardial disorders.

This module focuses on inflammatory conditions affecting the myocardium, endocardium, and pericardium. Students will study infectious and non-infectious causes, diagnostic techniques, and pathological features of inflammatory cardiovascular diseases.

This module explores diseases affecting arteries, veins, and microvasculature. Students will learn the pathological mechanisms underlying aneurysms, vasculitis, thrombosis, and vascular tumors.

This module addresses diseases involving the pulmonary circulation and their effects on cardiac structure and function. Students will understand the pathology of pulmonary hypertension and right heart disease.

This module focuses on neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions affecting the heart and pericardium. Learners will study primary and metastatic tumors, diagnostic criteria, and pathological evaluation methods.

This module provides practical training in cardiovascular autopsy procedures. Students will learn systematic examination techniques, cause-of-death determination, and forensic aspects of cardiovascular pathology.

This module introduces emerging technologies in cardiovascular pathology, including genomics, proteomics, digital pathology, artificial intelligence, and precision medicine applications.

The final module integrates pathological findings with clinical cardiovascular medicine. Students will complete a research project, review complex case studies, and develop professional competencies required for advanced practice in cardiovascular pathology.
