In this postgraduate diploma, you will find clinical cases of real patients with Non-ST-Segment-Elevation ACS and the latest research articles on this coronary disease" 

Although the causes of chest pain are varied, one of the main conditions to be ruled out by the physician is acute coronary syndrome with or without ST elevation. In the case of NSTEACS with elevated troponins, the patient may require emergency catheterization. Acting diligently and managing all the necessary information could influence their recovery, so the specialist must be up to date in the best and most effective techniques for diagnosis and treatment of this cardiac pathology.

With this program in Management of the Patient with Non-ST-Segment Elevation ACS, the graduates will be able to learn about the latest scientific advances in this coronary area, which will allow them to update their knowledge and expand on new concepts such as recent drugs or cutting-edge techniques, but with a high degree of effectiveness.

First, the program will delve into the epidemiology, pathophysiology and classification of coronary syndromes, followed by the importance of imaging and ischemia detection tests. The last module will focus on the medical and revascularization treatment of NSTEACS.

With a totally new syllabus, not only in its 100% online nature, but also in its content, designed by experts in Cardiology and following the most modern scientific advances, the graduates will find in this program an opportunity to get up to date. Among the facilities provided by this type of program is the possibility of downloading the syllabus and other additional material that you will find in the virtual classroom to be able to view it from any electronic device whenever you want.
