Course Objectives
At the end of the course, students must have acquired the basic knowledge to define the principles of diagnosis and treatment of the main cardiovascular diseases; carry out a clinical examination of the patient and formulate diagnostic hypotheses; and indicate which cardiovascular tests are most relevant. Knowledge of the pathophysiological bases of cardiovascular diseases is fundamental. Therefore, the student must know both the physiology and anatomy of the cardiovascular system.
For each pathology studied, the student must be able to provide an exhaustive definition of the disease, know its epidemiology, pathophysiology, how it manifests clinically, and how it is diagnosed and treated.
It is also important to know the possible evolution of the disease (natural history, complications), what to do and where (principles of medical therapy, home and hospital care), the possible phases of the disease that require urgent intervention (how to recognize urgency, how to treat it). At what advanced stages is it necessary to refer the patient for invasive treatment or surgery.

Assessment Methods
Oral examination. Grading scale 0-30.
The student will take the cardiology, cardiac surgery and vascular surgery modules in the same exam session. The grade will correspond to the average of the 3 interviews taking into account each module's CFU. The final grade is calculated and recorded in esse3 by Prof A. D'Armini, Coordinator of the Golgi Course. The final grade is calculated and recorded in esse3 by Prof A. D'Armini
