SCAM13012U Companion Animal Cardiology - Advanced Clinical Cardiology
The purpose of this course is to further develop the skills and
competencies of the student within the discipline of veterinary
clinical cardiology in companion animals. The level of prior
knowledge and skills within cardiology from the first part of the
master-education will further be developed into an advanced level
qualifying the student to work independently at a specialist level.
In theory and by practical exercises to extend the participants
knowledge, professional skills and competences within the subject
of clinical cardiology at a specialist level.

Having completed the course, the participant should be able to:
Knowledge
• Define, identify and discuss evidence-based decision making
within advanced clinical cardiology
• Explain, reflect about and demonstrate a complete overview
of systematic clinical approach to the cardiovascular patient at an
advanced specialised level
• List, classify, and demonstrate critical reflection on the
most current and novel approaches to patient diagnosis, therapy,
management at a specialised level of clinical cardiology using
comparative aspects to human cardiology where applicable
• List, classify and demonstrate critical reflection of
research methods, research study design and research presentation
in specialised scientific veterinary and human cardiology
journals
Skills
• Communicate effectively verbally and in writing and being
capable of discussing issues within the specialisation-area with
professional colleagues in private practice, in academia and in
research institutions Within the area of specialised clinical
cardiology.
• Continuously seek out, reflect on and apply new evidence
based methods and solution models within veterinary- and human
cardiology where applicable.
• Work systematically and effectively in the
specialisation-area, having knowledge and understanding of the area
at the highest international level
• Master advanced practice skill/tools in combination with
theoretical knowledge such as color doppler imaging, tissue doppler
imaging, 3D imaging and Holter-recording.
Competences
• Evaluate and manage specialised cardiovascular medical and
surgical cases
• Work independently, take responsibility for, predict,
prognosticate and make decisions at a specialised cardiovascular
level using most current diagnostic and therapeutic methods such as
Tissues Doppler imaging, Strain and Strain-rate imaging and
interventional cardiology.
• Collaborate constructively within and between
specialists/professionals and lay persons involved in
cardiovascular patient management of specialized cases requiring
heart surgery (such as PDA, PRRA), catheter based surgical
procedures (such as PDA, PS) or pacemaker implantation.
• Make ethic considerations regarding diagnostic methods and
therapies and place these into perspective such as cardiovascular
screening programs in susceptible cat and dog breeds
• Independently evaluate and structure own learning processes
and continuously obtain new knowledge at a specialty level within
advanced clinical cardiology
• Take responsibility for the continuing education of staff
working in the graduates own clinical to ensure a uniform advanced
level of care.
Updated literature list will be posted 1 month prior to course start. The participant should have theoretical knowledge updated prior to participation.
