Vascular Angiography

Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will develop skills to use Angiography equipment and you will deal effectively with Vascular Diseases"

According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, reaching figures of up to 31% of deaths. Within this context, Vascular Angiography emerges as an essential diagnostic tool, allowing early detection and accurate assessment of diseases that can lead to fatal conditions. In addition, the continuous evolution of this set of techniques and their working tools obliges specialists to keep up to date in order to achieve a holistic mastery of them.  

For this reason, TECH has designed this exclusive syllabus where students can analyze different arterial and venous puncture techniques to achieve maximum success in angiographic procedures. By addressing these criteria, physicians can reduce complications and improve their clinical results. At the same time, the Postgraduate certificate covers different contrast agents, such as iodinated and other less conventional ones like carbon dioxide and gadolinium chelates. In addition, it addresses how their use has become indispensable to optimize imaging results and minimize adverse effects such as Nephrotoxicity.  

For the mastery of all the contents of this academic itinerary, the doctors have a disruptive methodology: Relearning. This didactic system promotes the gradual assimilation of the most complex concepts through repetition, while minimizing the investment of time and effort in having to memorize them. Also, the program is developed 100% online, another significant advantage that provides autonomy to the graduates, allowing them to organize their learning pace depending on their other obligations.  

Also, the university program is supported by a variety of complementary materials such as articles, articles of interest and other materials. All of this is accompanied by explanatory videos, interactive summaries and self-assessment tests that enhance the comprehensive specialization of specialists, making this academic option a truly unparalleled opportunity.  

You will access the disruptive Relearning system, based on the gradual reiteration of concepts and that provides progressive assimilation throughout the entire syllabus"
