Cases of infarction and the complications derived from this Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are quite frequent in all countries of the world. Thanks to the continuous research developed in the last decades, techniques have been determined that allow the specialists to limit the size of this heart disease, thus avoiding a worsening of the patient's health and even death. The most common reperfusion therapies with the best results are systemic fibrinolysis and primary angioplasty, so knowing the latest developments related to their technical requirements, protocols, advantages and disadvantages of each has become an essential task for physicians.

In order to facilitate this update of concepts,TECH and its group of experts in Cardiology, has designed this postgraduate certificate in Reperfusion Therapies in Acute Coronary Syndrome, which not only delves into the mechanisms of restoration of blood supply, but also includes a tour of antithrombotic treatments during angioplasty and also the problem of antiplatelet therapy in the post-hospital phase in patients who also need anticoagulant therapy. It also delves into the methods of hemodynamic support that can be useful during angioplasty and the value of developing regional reperfusion networks for the treatment of infarction.

This program includes not only the best and most up-to-date content, but hours and hours of supplementary material in format, video and images, interactive abstracts, real clinical cases, recent research articles and much more. All in a convenient online format accessible from any electronic device with an internet connection and available from the beginning of the training.

Postgraduate Certificate in Reperfusion Therapies in Acute Coronary Syndrome

Reperfusion therapies are a set of treatments for patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome, including thrombolysis and angioplasty, both aimed at restoring blood flow to the heart.

Acute coronary syndrome occurs when plaque that builds up in the coronary arteries ruptures, which can cause blood clots to form. These clots can block blood flow to the heart, which can lead to a heart attack.

Thrombolysis is a therapy used to dissolve blood clots blocking the coronary arteries. This is done by infusing a drug called a ""thrombolytic"" through a vein in the arm. The thrombolytic causes the clot to dissolve to restore blood flow.

Angioplasty, on the other hand, is an invasive procedure that involves inserting a thin tube (catheter) into the blocked coronary artery. At the end of the catheter, there is a balloon that is inflated to open the artery. A stent (tube-like device) may also be inserted to keep the artery open and prevent it from becoming blocked again.

Reperfusion therapies are a combination of treatments aimed at restoring blood flow to the heart in patients with acute coronary syndrome. They are used in cases where the coronary artery is completely blocked or severely blocked and can help prevent or reduce damage to the heart. It is important that these therapies are performed by a trained medical team and in a specialized cardiology center.

Reperfusion therapies in ACS seek to restore coronary blood circulation and, thus, decrease cardiac damage. This specialized course aims to enable students to develop skills in emergency decision making, management of complications and selection and evaluation of the most appropriate reperfusion techniques for each patient.
