About Study Course
Objective
The course is designed for medical residents in cardiology to acquire theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as practical skills on the following: 1) chronic cardiovascular pathologies (aetiology, pathology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, differential diagnoses, treatment methods) and 2) early and late treatment, rehabilitation and long-term prevention after acute cardiovascular pathologies.
