##IMAGE##

In recent years, there have been numerous advances in the field of Cardiac Arrhythmias, both in cardiac stimulation and defibrillation devices and in the diagnostic procedures of electrophysiological studies and ablation. One of the main problems in the field of arrhythmias is the late diagnosis of most pathologies, or the intrinsic difficulty of providing information tailored to the pathologies and conditions of each patient. 

Therefore, the work of updating the specialist in this area is essential to ensure good professional practice. Advances such as genetic studies for prevention, pharmacogenomics or even developments in the treatment of athletes are a great advantage for every Cardiology Unit. 

TECH has brought together a team of professional cardiologists from prestigious hospitals, where they have developed and put into practice the most recent advances in Cardiac Arrhythmias. In this way, the student is brought closer to the latest developments in this medical area, in a much more effective way. In addition, this professional master’s degree offers a comprehensive approach to arrhythmias, with an innovative and practical approach so that specialists can incorporate the latest and most effective developments in the area into their daily work.
