Improve your knowledge in Cardiovascular Critical Care in the Emergency Department through this program, where you will find the best teaching material with real cases. Learn here about the latest advances in the specialty to be able to perform a quality medical practice"

The field of cardiology is one of the areas of great research activity, which leads to the frequent emergence of new studies, reviews, clinical practice guidelines, etc. that modify or should modify the management of patients with acute heart disease. Gaining up-to-date knowledge in this area is essential for cardiologists interested in developing specific skills in this area, for cardiologists who aren’t in daily contact with acute cardiac patients but need to be competent in dealing with them or for non-cardiologists who work in an environment where they treat these types of patients.

The program is structured in a clear way, allowing the student to take an orderly approach to each topic. The modules are divided in a simple way, focusing on each one of the main groups of acute heart disease. They are taught by professionals who combine their high academic skill level with their teaching experience and their dealings with critical cardiology patients.  The learning tools and texts available to the student are fully up-to-date and are oriented to the development of skills which are directly applicable to clinical practice. 

The structure of this Professional master’s degree unites the more theoretical content and latest developments on diagnosis and medical medical management, with other content that is focused on the students acquiring more practical skills as well. One of the modules in the Professional master’s degree is entirely dedicated to the development of practical skills and mastering the essential techniques for dealing with critical cardiovascular patients. A second module is focused on developing the essential skills for performing and interpreting echocardiograms (ECG), and their correlation with the patient’s clinical situation, to make decisions on the treatment and management of the patient. 

The program is aimed at encouraging and enabling the development of essential skills in the management of a patient with acute heart disease. The type of student that will benefit from this Professional master’s degree is one that requires training or being brought up-to-date in the management of this type of patients. This mainly includes intensive care staff or anaesthetists who look after patients with heart disease, cardiologists who don’t have daily contact with acute patients, but need to be kept up-to-date in how to care for them, or cardiologists interested in perfecting and deepening their knowledge on how to care for patients with critical heart disease.

Professional Master's Degree in Cardiovascular Critical Care in the Emergency Department

Medical care, aimed at patients in critical condition due to this type of disease, requires the strategic mobilization of theoretical and practical skills related to diagnosis and prescription in tertiary centers. For this reason, at TECH Global University, a program specialized in the management of critical situations has been created based on a thorough knowledge of the pathological substrates of heart failure and acute coronary syndrome. Thanks to the comprehensive syllabus, students will be able to use cardiac pacing techniques and devices, control arrhythmias, perform echocardiography and non-invasive cardiac imaging, and perform functional tests, following the proposed guidelines and recognizing the limitations imposed by special circumstances, such as pulmonary hypertension. As such, at the end of the Professional Master's Degree, you will be able to understand, size and explain the indications of the treatments chosen, establish the most convenient therapeutic options and attenuate pain as much as possible.

Study a Professional Master's Degree in Cardiovascular Critical Care in the Emergency Department

Studying this Postgraduate Degree from TECH represents an important opportunity for the development of multiple competencies. On the one hand, it empowers in the identification and correlation of the different anatomical-functional alterations caused by these diseases, and on the other hand, in decision making under pressure and in the correct communication with colleagues and patients. All this, then, enables the graduate to perform with ease in the daily clinical practice of this area, either when diagnosing, prescribing or leading a team in urgent care for the exacerbation of complications. Likewise, at a more advanced level, they will be able to develop their skills in the anticipation of risks, establish early action plans, establish and indicate adequate treatments that adjust to the conditions of those affected and, based on the severity of the problem, evaluate recurrences, in order to avoid them and provide rapid support to eventualities.
