| Purpose of the course | The course aims to give the student an overview of the state of art of research on ischemic heart diseases and focuses on the areas where implementation is needed to answer relevant research questions. |
| Intended learning outcomes | The participants should at the end of the course:
1. Have a general knowledge of the epidemiology of ischemic heart disease 2. Understand the pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease 3. Know the cardinal clinical signs of cardiac ischemia 4. Discuss ischemic heart disease in the connection to other common cardiovascular diseases 5. Be able to identify the knowledge gaps in the research field |
| Contents of the course | We will discuss the factors affecting the risk for coronary heart disease across selected low and high income settings; the cardinal symptoms and the underlying mechanisms; novel and emerging cardiac biomarkers; established and novel preventive measures. In addition, we will give an overview of vascular disease in other vascular beds to put coronary artery disease in a pan-vascular context. Finally, we will address the gaps in knowledge in this research field. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course will be delivered as a full-time course during five consecutive days. It will consist of lectures, time for own reading of the literature and preparing the course tasks, group works, oral presentations/discussions and a final exam. |
| Compulsory elements | The course participants should attend all the course lectures and the sessions of group work and presentation/discussion. The participants who have missed some of the sessions will be assigned additional reading and essay work to compensate the absence. |
| Examination | Formative assessment by peers and lecturers during the group works and discussions and summative assessment of the written examination. |
| Literature and other teaching material | The organizers will provide course participants with electronic handouts/teaching materials from all lectures.
The list of recommended articles and book chapters will be distributed to the course participants latest 2 weeks before the course start. |
| Number of students | 8 - 25 |
| Selection of students | Selection will be based on 1) the relevance of the course syllabus for the applicant's doctoral project (according to written motivation), 2) start date of doctoral studies (priority given to earlier start date) |
