Foundations of Preventive and Noninvasive Cardiology
This module introduces the principles of cardiovascular disease prevention and the role of noninvasive cardiology in modern clinical practice. Learners will understand the epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases, risk factors, preventive strategies, evidence-based guidelines, and the importance of early diagnosis using noninvasive techniques.
Cardiovascular Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology
This module provides a comprehensive understanding of cardiac anatomy, coronary circulation, electrophysiology, and cardiovascular physiology. Learners will explore mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart failure, and arrhythmias.
This module focuses on identifying cardiovascular risk through clinical assessment, biomarkers, imaging, and validated risk prediction tools. Learners will gain expertise in individualized cardiovascular risk stratification.
This module covers diagnosis, evaluation, and management of hypertension along with vascular health preservation. Learners will understand evidence-based treatment protocols and prevention of hypertension-related complications.
This module discusses lipid disorders, pharmacological therapies, and preventive medications used to reduce cardiovascular risk. Learners will understand individualized lipid management according to current international guidelines.
This module explores the close relationship between diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Learners will develop competency in integrated cardiometabolic risk reduction.
This module develops competency in ECG interpretation and rhythm analysis. Learners will identify normal and abnormal findings associated with ischemia, arrhythmias, and structural heart disease.
This module introduces transthoracic and stress echocardiography as essential noninvasive diagnostic tools. Learners will understand chamber assessment, ventricular function, valvular disease, and hemodynamic evaluation.
This module covers advanced imaging techniques including CT coronary angiography, cardiac MRI, nuclear cardiology, and vascular imaging for diagnosis and risk stratification.
This module focuses on prevention and early detection of coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and valvular heart disease.
Cardiac Rehabilitation, Research and Clinical Practice
The final module integrates preventive cardiology into clinical practice through cardiac rehabilitation, patient education, quality improvement, digital health, and research methodology. Learners will complete case discussions and a capstone project demonstrating comprehensive knowledge in preventive and noninvasive cardiology.
