The physiology of the cardiovascular system and changes in cardiovascular function in abnormal physiological and pathological conditions.
This paper is part of the Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Technology (PGDipMedTech) endorsed in Cardiology, which extends on from MTEC 701 and the Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Technology (PGDipMedTech) for those working in cardiology. It has a focus on cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure and ischemic heart disease and the key tools used in the diagnosis and management of these conditions.
