Cardiovascular Disease Courses
Aortic Trauma
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists is a guide to interpeting the various imaging modalities, particularly computed tomography (CT), in the diagnosis and signs of aortic trauma.
Autonomic Nervous System Physiology
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Anaesthetists covers the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the effects of the ANS on different organ systems, including the cardiovascular system, respiratory system and the eye. It examines the major neurotransmitters and receptor types in the ANS. The micro skills course concludes with considering the interactions between the ANS and anaesthetic drugs, regional anaesthesia and surgical stimulation.
Basics of Cardiac Radionuclide Imaging
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists will give an outline of the relevant radiopharmaceuticals and image acquisition/analysis involved in nuclear cardiology.
Benzylisoquinolinium Muscle Relaxants
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Anaesthetists describes the benzylisoquinolinium neuromuscular blocking agents, including their pharmacological properties and cardiovascular side-effects.
Cardiac Computed Tomography - Coronary Artery Screening
This micro skills course from the College of Radiographers will provide an introduction to screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) using computed tomography (CT) cardiac calcium scoring. The micro skills course from the College of Radiographers will also describe the use of CT angiography (CTA) and give examples of congenital coronary artery anomalies.
Cardiac MRI
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists describes the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques used for imaging the heart.
Cardiac MRI Anatomy and MRA
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists provides introduction to basic principles and techniques of cardiac MRI.
Cardiac Muscle Contraction 1
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Anaesthetists describes the ultrastructure of cardiac muscle cells and the organization of the sarcomere.
Cardiac Nuclear Medicine Studies
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists will describe the types of nuclear medicine investigations of the heart, how they are performed and when they are indicated. Normal appearances and common artefacts will be demonstrated.
Cardiac Output Monitoring I
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Anaesthetists aims to provide a rationale behind cardiac output monitoring and a sound understanding of the physiological principles behind the available technology.
Cardiac Output Monitoring II
Following on from Cardiac Output Monitoring I, which highlighted the physiological principles behind cardiac output monitors, This micro skills course from the Royal College of Anaesthetists provides an overview of the current technology available, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
Cardiac: Basic Pathology and Clinical Aspects
This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists provides an understanding of basic pathology and clinical aspects.
