General Information

Overview

This unit prepares you for entry into the clinical environment. You will build upon your knowledge of diagnostic techniques to support your future role as both an echocardiographer and cardiac physiologist. You learn to interpret electrocardiography cases applying the step-wise method, study the principles underpinning cardiac rhythm management (CRM) and device applications, and be introduced to various cardiac assessment strategies including invasive and non-invasive approaches. You will apply this knowledge to a variety of cardiovascular pathologies and case studies, formulating differential diagnoses, whilst considering patient management strategies within an ethical framework of best practice and patient safety.
