Course/Module description:
The course consists of lectures, a pathology laboratory, clinical presentations, and workshops.
The course provides the student with the pathological basis for the development of cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, pericarditis, benign and malignant tumors of the heart muscle, endocarditis, arrhythmias, peripheral vascular disease, congenital heart defects.
At the same time, the course will provide the student with the knowledge related to the drug treatment of these diseases, with emphasis on understanding the mechanisms of action of the drugs and the clinical basis in their selection.
Course/Module aims:
Providing basic and clinical knowledge of pathological, pharmacological and genetic principles related to the activity of the cardiovascular system and the heart in diseased conditions.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
1. To provide an understanding of the morphological changes at the cell, tissue, and organ levels in response to diseases related to cardiovascular activity.
2. To recognize pathological mechanisms and processes that mediate damage to the cardiovascular system.
3. Follow the relationship between the structural changes in the organ and its functioning.
4. Understand the clinical symptoms of cardiovascular disease and provide the basis for clinical understanding and treatment.
5. Understand the relationship between the mechanism of action of a drug and its use in a wide range of cardiovascular diseases.
6. To assess different clinical conditions and suggest ways to treat them pharmacologically.
7. Learn to decode clinical occurrences and build cardiovascular treatment programs.

Grading Scheme :
Additional information:
The final grade will be weighted with the other components (grade of the workshop in pharmacology as well as the grades of the quizzes) provided that the grade of the theoretical examination is a passing score (60).
In addition, attendance is mandatory in all clinical presentations, workshops and laboratories.
