In this unit you will acquire knowledge of the key principles and data used to assess the cardiovascular system. This unit prepares you for the clinical workplace through the development of skills in cardiovascular assessment. These will include electrophysiology, cardiac angiography, non-invasive cardiac and respiratory measurements and a variety of cardiac imaging procedures. You will then apply your knowledge to the analysis of the outcomes of that assessment. You are required to demonstrate the skills, knowledge and professional behaviours needed to work in a clinical setting, and will be assessed within a simulated environment. You must pass this unit to be eligible to attend clinical placement in year 2.
