Purpose of the course | To provide a comprehensive overview of heart failure, a major public health problem and the most common cause of hospitalisation. The course will address all aspects of the disease, from mechanism and pathophysiology, to how these aspects affect diagnosis and therapeutic effects. The course will also introduce the new developments and future directions of heart failure research. |
Intended learning outcomes | To be able to define and understand heart failure and its different phenotypes; to be able to understand the pathophysiological basis for diagnosis and therapy; to be able to understand and account for concepts for developing and testing novel interventions; and to demonstrate a good understanding of translational approach between basic research and the development of treatment of heart failure, as well as the principles of registry based research on heart failure. |
Contents of the course | The module will cover pathophysiology, clinical diagnosis and treatments, as well as epidemiology of heart failure. A series of lectures will be given to reveal the molecular and cellular mechanisms of heart failure development, the relations of heart failure to other cardiovascular diseases, and new diagnotic and therapeutic approaches of the disease. Registry based research of heart failure will also be addressed. |
Teaching and learning activities | The 2-day course module includes course lectures and seminars. |
Compulsory elements | The participants must attend the lectures and seminars. The students who have missed these sessions can book extra session time within 4 weeks to compensate the absence. |
Examination | Written exam. |
Literature and other teaching material | The handouts/teaching materials from all lectures will be provided: Pathology and epidemiology of heart failure Calcium signaling of cardiomyocytes Endothelial dysfunction in heart failure Registry-base clinical research of heart failure and the Swedish Heart Failure Registry Biomarkers and imaging of heart failure Valve disease and valve interventions in heart failure Surgical therapy and device therapy of heart failure |
