You will access a 100% online degree that will provide you with all the information you need to be up to date in Prehospital Evaluation of ACS patients"

Acute Coronary Syndrome affects millions of people worldwide. This is why the context in which specialists have to act varies and with it the methodology to be followed in terms of the initial assessment and treatment in the prehospital phase. The rapid but effective diagnosis of these patients at home, in health centers or emergency rooms and depending on their clinical presentation is essential for their evolution, so the physician has to handle the most complete and innovative information.  

In its commitment to provide an academic degree that allows specialists to update and expand their knowledge while continuing their work, this postgraduate certificate in Prehospital Evaluation of Acute Coronary Syndrome has been created. TECH thus fulfills its objective of offering a program at the forefront of medicine, more specifically in this branch of cardiology, with which the graduate will be up to date with the latest advances and which will allow them, based on their own demand, to continue expanding concepts. 

A program that covers in detail, from the main clinical presentations and possible electrocardiographic manifestations of ACS and their appropriate evaluation in different contexts, to the measures to be taken before the patient's arrival at the hospital and those to be avoided. It also discusses in depth the initial antithrombotic treatments and the importance of the decision of coronary reperfusion and activation of the Infarction Code programs. 

All of this is distributed in 150 teaching hours, which also include complementary didactic material to expand on each section. A 100% online degree that will allow the specialist to access the virtual classroom from wherever and whenever they want and organize their academic calendar based on their own availability.
