University certificate
The world's largest faculty of medicine”
Description
This course focuses on the control of imaging techniques in the evaluation of ACS patients without ST-segment elevation and their long-term prognosis”
Nowadays, imaging techniques applicable in medical protocols are varied and very effective. As far as cardiac conditions are concerned, the development of echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging has brought with it the possibility for specialists to make more complete diagnoses when, for example, a patient has suffered an Acute Coronary Syndrome. In addition, these techniques will also provide data on the patient's evolution, allowing the physician to measure the efficacy of the treatment.
TECH has compiled the most up-to-date information on this subject in a postgraduate certificate. This program not only includes in its syllabus a section that delves into the usefulness of imaging techniques during the hospital phase and in the prognostic evaluation of the patient in the long term, but also delves into the emerging parameters that can be useful in this context. It also details the problem of patients with ischemic myocardial damage, but in whom there is no evidence of obstructive atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (MINOCA).
A program directed and designed by experts in cardiology in which the specialists will find not only the most cutting-edge content in the field, but also the most complete and varied complementary material of the moment with which to continue expanding their knowledge. In addition, the versatility provided by this online postgraduate certificate will allow you to distribute the 150 hours of the program according to your own time availability.
TECH provides you with the best content, but you decide when to connect and from which electronic device. In addition, you will have at your disposal the syllabus from day one”

A 100% online program that delves, among other aspects, into the new techniques of myocardial deformation in ACS patients without ST-Segment Elevation"
Objectives
The information that currently exists related to Acute Coronary Syndrome is very extensive and varied. For this reason, TECH objective with this postgraduate certificate is to create a program in which the specialists will find the most important and novel content that will allow them, not only to get updated in relation to the Acute Evaluation of these patients, but also to broaden their knowledge without the need to resort to other sources.
The purpose of TECH is to guarantee the best possible educational experience, so that the graduates will finish this postgraduate certificate having achieved their own objectives”
General Objectives
- Delve into Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) starting with its pathophysiology and its importance as one of the main causes of death in civilized countries
- Professionalize skills in the assessment and differential diagnosis of chest pain in the emergency department, understanding the value of the different complementary techniques available
- Adequately classify the patient's initial risk and the most appropriate prehospital treatment and monitor measures in the prehospital phase
- Internalize reperfusion therapies, their limitations, advantages and protocols, understand the great importance of ischemia time
- Diagnose and manage the mechanical and arrhythmic complications that can occur in this syndrome
- Implement appropriate treatment measures during the hospital phase and the value of Coronary Units
- Develop the value and structure of Cardiac Rehabilitation programs
- Understand the treatments that have provided value in secondary prevention of these patients
Specific Objectives
- Monitor the usefulness of imaging techniques in the evaluation of patients with NSTEACS with suspected mechanical complications
- Monitor the usefulness of imaging techniques in the prognostic assessment of the patient with long-term NSTEACS
- Understand the new echocardiographic parameters that may be useful in the prognostic assessment of the patient
- Deepen the knowledge of MINOCA, patients with ischemic myocardial damage, but without evidence of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease
Academic progress will be latent from day one thanks to the innovative Relearning methodology on which TECH bases its programs”
Postgraduate Certificte in Acute Evaluation of ACS Patients
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a medical emergency that requires prompt and accurate evaluation and treatment to reduce the risk of serious complications and improve patient outcomes. Acute evaluation of the ACS patient is typically performed in the emergency department and focuses on accurately diagnosing the cause of symptoms, assessing the patient's risk factors, and implementing immediate treatments.
From the educational field, the acute evaluation of the ACS patient is developed through the teaching of clinical skills for health care professionals. Medical students and emergency medical personnel learn to recognize and assess the symptoms and signs of ACS, as well as the difference between unstable angina and myocardial infarction.
The acute evaluation of the ACS patient includes performing an electrocardiogram (ECG) to determine if there are changes in heart rhythm and function, and performing laboratory tests to assess cardiac enzymes and heart muscle damage.
Other important clinical skills include administering thrombolytic therapy, anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, analgesia and other necessary medical interventions. In addition, practitioners must conduct good communication with patients and their families to provide information about the diagnosis and treatment, and provide necessary emotional support.
From the educational field, acute assessment of the ACS patient is developed by teaching clinical skills in the diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause of symptoms. Healthcare professionals learn to recognize the symptoms and signs of ACS, perform diagnostic tests, and administer medical therapies and other necessary treatments, as well as care and communication with the patient and family members. Acute evaluation of the ACS patient must be prompt and accurate to reduce the risk of serious complications and improve patient outcomes.
