Keep abreast of the latest developments in tools and techniques for the management of patients with chest pain with this postgraduate diploma”

The consultation of patients with chest pain is quite frequent, not only in the area of cardiology, but also in primary care and emergency care. That is why this condition involves physicians from different medical specialties, since in the case of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) or any other pathology derived from heart disease, a prompt and protocol action is necessary. For this reason, these professionals must know the latest developments in diagnosis and management of this type of patients, allowing them to approach each case with the guarantee of knowing that they have the best knowledge in cardiac matters. 

TECH presents the postgraduate diploma in Diagnosis of Patients with Chest Pain, a comprehensive program with which the specialists will be able, from the hand of the best experts in the sector, to get up to date based on the latest information regarding the management of patients suffering from this condition. 

This program is divided into 3 modules in which, in a professional and comprehensive manner, the different aspects of the subject will be studied: from the clinical presentation of coronary syndromes and their classification, to imaging and ischemia detection tests, with special emphasis on TTE and other techniques in the acute evaluation of the patient and in the hospital phase. 

The graduates will have access to the content 24 hours a day through the virtual classroom. Further, the totality of material will be available from the beginning of the postgraduate diploma, and can be downloaded to any electronic device with an Internet connection. TECH provides the specialists with all the necessary tools to keep up to date with the latest developments in the Diagnosis of Patients with Chest Pain, adapting the educational experience to their availability and their own 
study methodology.  

A program that will help you delve into the possible causes of ACS, and its classification from an operational point of view”
