This postgraduate certificate will introduce you to the latest concepts related to Imaging Tests in Acute Coronary Syndrome"

Chest pain can occur due to different causes. However, a clinical picture that indicates an Acute Coronary Syndrome can have serious consequences for the patient. The differential diagnosis of this condition in the emergency department increases the chances of success of a possible treatment, so physicians must follow with total and absolute diligence the protocols of action, which include imaging tests among the most effective methods.

The postgraduate certificate highlights the value of these tests and goes into the use of transthoracic ultrasound at the bedside and stress ultrasound in the evaluation of the patient with STE-ACS. It also details the importance of electrocardiographic and isotope stress tests in the evaluation of patients with chest pain without a clear diagnosis and delves into the important role of the scanner in the triple rule-out of chest pain in these cases, as well as the relevance of magnetic resonance imaging.

Therefore, this program will provide the graduates with the necessary knowledge that will allow them to get up to date in imaging tests in ACS, through the most up-to-date and complete content and from the hand of a group of experts in cardiology who will be available to the specialists from the beginning of the program. Moreover, in the virtual classroom, you will find all the necessary additional content that will allow you to delve into each section.
