Description

This program is the best option you can find to specialize in Veterinary Cardiology and make more accurate diagnoses”

##IMAGE##

Cardiology of Small Animals is a subspecialty of Internal Medicine with a great development in the last decades. The faculty of this program is at the forefront of the latest diagnostic techniques and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in small animals. Thanks to their specialized training, they have developed a useful, practical program adapted to the current reality, a reality that is becoming more and more demanding.

This comprehensive program compiles the different cardiovascular diseases affecting small animals. It starts with a solid development of the basics of cardiovascular physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology, so often forgotten and so important and useful in daily clinical practice, followed by the optimization of clinical examination and diagnostic tests, and ending with the latest therapeutic protocols and patient monitoring procedures. 

This training specializes the general practitioner in an area that is increasingly in demand, partly because of its frequency, partly because of the need for specialization that this area demands.

In all the modules, a gradual exposition of knowledge at the physiological and pathophysiological level has been established, a development of the protocols for approaching patients with cardiovascular diseases with diagnostic and treatment algorithms, as well as the monitoring that should be done in these patients, since many of these diseases are chronic. It compiles the author's experience, without forgetting scientific rigor and the most important updates based on evidence. It develops the diseases, the action protocols and takes into account the integral approach to the patient, considering the disease, the patient and the owner in line with evidence-based medicine.

All topics incorporate numerous multimedia material: photos, videos and diagrams, so important in a specialty where imaging techniques are of great importance.

Finally, as it is an online program, the students are not conditioned by fixed schedules, nor do they need to move to another physical location. All of the content can be accessed at any time of the day, so you can balance your working or personal life with your academic life. 

Don't miss the opportunity to take this program with TECH. It's the perfect opportunity to advance your career and stand out in an industry with high demand for professionals”

Postgraduate Certificate in Pathophysiology of Heart Failure and Cardiac Pharmacology

No pet is exempt from heart failure, especially if there are genetic predispositions. What does the animal's success depend on? Sometimes on practical knowledge in veterinary cardiology such as the use of drugs. Knowing how to administer an anticoagulant or knowing the difference between class one and two antiarrhythmic drugs can be that vital component that restores the heartbeat to a canine. With TECH Global University you can train 100% online in this aspect by enrolling in the Postgraduate Certificate in Pathophysiology of Heart Failure and Cardiac Pharmacology, a program of ten thematic units seen over 150 hours that you can self-regulate according to your available time. We also have an excellent teaching staff and an exclusive teaching model that employs paradigms of proven effectiveness in the academic field. In the content of this program you will find everything from nutrition in cardiopathic patients to the use of taurine and atenolol: a compendium of essential knowledge to improve your work.

Learn about pharmacology for heart failure

It is known that the left side of the heart is the one that is most affected when heart failure occurs, causing fluids to accumulate in the lungs or rib cage. This causes shortness of breath which, in turn, alters the way animals take in oxygen. Dogs with this condition, for example, often breathe rapidly with their mouths open and in acute situations, the tongue takes on a bluish hue (cyanosis). If not treated in time, the animal could die of asphyxia. By accessing our Postgraduate Certificate, we will not only instruct you on the pathophysiological mechanisms to identify the disease, but also on the different pharmacological components that you can use to treat it: pimobedan, diuretics, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors), antihypertensives, among several others. Each one detailed with its classification, posology and contraindications. Flexible classes and digital immersion through our platform will be your way to grow professionally in an easy, fast and dynamic way.
