Email this article Printer friendly page |
This programme is aimed at physicians, nurses, dietitians, physiotherapists, physical activity specialists, sports scientists, pharmacists, psychologists and any other health professional with a role in prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Students will learn about the theory of preventive cardiology and the application of evidence based principles to real world clinical practice. The programme covers the complete spectrum of preventive cardiology from patients with established atherosclerotic disease, the relatives of patients with premature atherosclerotic disease and asymptomatic people, including those with diabetes, at high multifactorial risk of developing this disease.
The scientific foundation of this programme is lifestyle change (smoking cessation, healthy food choices and physical activity) through behavioural approaches, together with weight management, medical management of blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose and use of cardioprotective drug therapies. The practical application of research methods and statistics to preventive cardiology will be taught.
