Summary

What you’ll be able to do

  • Refine skills in obtaining and interpreting the history provided by patients with chest pain, syncope, heart failure, and palpitations.

  • Perform and interpret the cardiovascular physical exam.

  • Improve ability to define, diagnose and begin the initial management of heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, stable ischemic heart disease, resistant hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and hyperlipidemia.

  • Become familiar with resources for self-study for chest X-ray and electrocardiogram (EKG) interpretation.

  • Develop expertise in the prediction of an individual patientʼs cardiovascular risk as well as guideline directed mitigation of that risk.

  • Become familiar with the use of Bayeʼs Theorem.

Student experience

the class

Provide a broad introduction to the cardiovascular syndromes and diseases that constitute a large part of the practice of adult medicine. This experience has been particularly useful for three groups: those who plan to enter an adult primary care discipline, those entering residency in emergency medicine, and those with an interest in adult cardiology.
