Description

A program of the highest clinical level to update your knowledge regarding interventional care in Congenital Heart Disease and other aspects of this field in the pediatric sector"

Cardiovascular disease in children is relatively infrequent when compared with adult patients. However, in most cases, these pathologies have a congenital origin, so addressing them from birth or even before birth is vital in the strict sense of the word. Among the most widespread practices for the diagnosis and knowledge of the severity of the condition is catheterization, through which it is possible to know the state of the heart and blood vessels, in order to determine the quality of the venous connections, the pressure, the oxygen level, the existence of irregular heart rates or in order to repair heart valves that are too narrow or leaking.  

As it is a technique widely used both in the pediatric and adult setting, it is constantly evolving, so every year significant changes are made in its use to increase its safety and effectiveness. For this reason, TECH, in its commitment to always offer medical specialists the possibility of keeping up to date, has developed this comprehensive program in Pediatric and Adolescent Cardiology and Cardiac Catheterization, a program with which they will undoubtedly be able to update their knowledge based on the latest advances in the sector. In addition, they will be able to perfect their skills in congenital heart disease interventionism through knowledge of the most innovative techniques and tools to carry out approaches with a very high probability of success. 

All this through 400 hours of diverse material, from the best syllabus, designed by specialists in this field, to clinical cases extracted from their consultations and diverse audiovisual content of the highest quality. Everything will be stored in a state-of-the-art Virtual Campus, accessible from any device with Internet connection. In this way, students will have no problem to combine this academic experience with their practice activities, contributing to the advancement of medicine and to the achievement of an even more professional and specialized medical service.
