| Learning outcomes |
|
Student will get acquainted with current topics in laboratory biomarkers of important cardiovascular pathologies, namely heart failure and acute coronary syndrome. Tutors in this interdisciplinary seminar come from both clinical and laboratory specialties.
Knowledge from this course will be utilized for indication of modern tests for cardiomarkers, their basal interpretation and also for differential diagnostic purpose. It may serve as basis for postgradual study. |
