Traslational Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery (clerkship)
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Practical activities will be used, through simulation, through the attendance in the ward or attendance of real cardiac or vascular surgery procedures in the ward, to consolidate technical and soft knowledge and skills developed during frontal lectures.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the cardiovascular clerkship, students should be able to:
- Evaluate patients with heart failure: history, clinical examination, and EKG
- Perform and evaluate cardiopulmonary exercise test
- Evaluate patients with acute chest pain
- Evaluate patients with acute dyspnea
- Monitor patients with acute myocardial infarction
- Assess and manage pre- and postoperatively patients candidate to cardiac surgery, mainly adult patients undergoing coronary, valve ad aorta surgery
- Evaluate patients with heart failure: history, clinical examination, and EKG
- Perform and evaluate cardiopulmonary exercise test
- Evaluate patients with acute chest pain
- Evaluate patients with acute dyspnea
- Monitor patients with acute myocardial infarction
- Assess and manage pre- and postoperatively patients candidate to cardiac surgery, mainly adult patients undergoing coronary, valve ad aorta surgery
Lesson period: First semester
Assessment methods: Giudizio di approvazione
Assessment result: superato/non superato
Single course
This course cannot be attended as a single course. Please check our list of single courses to find the ones available for enrolment.
Course syllabus and organization
Single session
Responsible
The teaching, given the current health situation, will be carried out entirely at a distance.
Prerequisites for admission
To take the Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery exam, students must have already passed all the exams of the first and second year (Fundamentals of Basic Sciences, Cells, Molecules and Genes 1 and 2, Human Body, Functions and Mechanisms of Diseases).
Furthermore students must review in detail the program of System Diseases 1, in particular the modules of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diagnostic Imaging, and the programs of Pharmacology 1 and 2.
Furthermore students must review in detail the program of System Diseases 1, in particular the modules of Cardiovascular Diseases and Diagnostic Imaging, and the programs of Pharmacology 1 and 2.
Assessment methods and Criteria
Students' evaluation is assessed with three oral examinations focused on the topics developed during the course (one for Cardiovascular Diseases, one for Cardiac Surgery and one for Vascular Surgery). The final mark is the average of the marks obtained in the three oral examinations weighted for the number of credits of each discipline.
The exam is deemed to be passed successfully if the final grade is equal to or higher than 18/30. In the event of a full grade (30/30) honors (lode) may be granted with the consent of all the professors.
Registration to the exam through SIFA is mandatory.
