Annotation
The aim of course „Cardiology elective“ is case based teaching of cardiovascular diseases. The whole course will be organized as rounds with experienced mentors who would choose interesting cases of cardiovascular diseases.
Students will take the patient history and do physical examination under the supervision of their mentor and then the specific case will be discussed. The focus will be on differential diagnosis, methods and also possible therapeutic possibilities for each particular case.
Alternatively, part of the teaching will be performed in several diagnostic laboratories (cathlabs, echolab etc) of our department. Every practical (rounds) will be unique due to the spectrum of at that time hospitalized patients, thus every week should be a new disease case.
