The course is aimed at the development of effective clinical skills in the field of coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, valvular disorders, and cardiovascular management of risk. This program will integrate both in-depth theoretical learning and practical clinical exposure to help the participants solidify their knowledge on the assessment of the heart, diagnostic interpretation, and evidence-based treatment planning. Students have an excellent chance to learn about ECG interpretation, basics of echocardiography, preventive cardiology, and the modern trends in cardiovascular care. Having a high focus on clinical decision-making and evidence-based practice, this diploma will prepare specialists to provide high-quality cardiac care in both inpatient and outpatient practice and establish a strong career in the rapidly expanding field of cardiovascular medicine. Outcome of the Program At the end of the course you will be able to: Diagnose and treat typical cardiovascular diseases. Understand the fundamentals of echocardiography, and interpret ECGs. Diagnose and treat coronary artery disease, heart failure, and arrhythmias. Assess the cardiovascular risk factors and preventive measures. Use evidence-based pharmacological treatment in cardiology. Assist in clinical decision-making in acute and chronic cardiac diseases. Be more confident in managing cardiac emergencies. Deliver safe, ethical and patient-focused cardiovascular care. Career Opportunities At the end of the program, you can: Cardiology department and cardiac care unit work. Participate in hospitals and multi-specialty healthcare centers. Enhance your involvement in outpatient and inpatient cardiac services. Preventive cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation facilities. Help in the practice of diagnostic and interventional cardiology. Complete further specialization and training in cardiovascular medicine. PG Diploma in Clinical Cardiology helps you become a competent and confident professional in the field of cardiovascular care in the contemporary healthcare delivery system with a stronger diagnostic capacity, better clinical judgment and the expertise needed to handle a wide range of cardiac conditions in the modern healthcare delivery system.

Updated Curriculum Course Curriculum Basic Foundations of Cardiology Introduction to Cardiology: An overview of anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. Cardiac Cells and Electrophysiology: Understanding molecular and cellular mechanisms of cardiac contraction, conduction and rhythm. Cardiac Imaging and Diagnostic Tools: Methods such as MRI, CT, echocardiogram and ECG in cardiology. Introduction to the most frequently used cardiovascular drugs and their mechanisms, Basic Cardiovascular Pharmacology. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) Pathophysiology of CAD: Atherosclerosis, plaque formation and vascular remodeling. Diagnosis of CAD: clinical presentation, risk factors and stress tests/angiography/biomarkers. Treatment of CAD: Medical treatment, antiplatelet therapy, statins, lifestyle modification and intervention (angioplasty, CABG). Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS): Diagnosis and management; the role of thrombolytics, antithrombotic agents and revascularization. Heart Failure Heart failure can have different types and causes: Systolic vs diastolic dysfunction, ischemic vs nonischemic heart failure Clinical Presentation and Diagnosis: Signs & symptoms and diagnostic tools (BNP, echo, biomarkers). Treatment of Heart Failure: Pharmacologic (ACE, beta-blockers, diuretics), Device (ICD, CRT), and heart transplantation. Advanced HF: Refractory cases, LVADs, palliative care and end-of-life management. Cardiac Arrhythmias Basic Mechanisms of Arrhythmias: Understanding electrical disturbances in the heart, causes and classification of arrhythmias. Diagnosis and Monitoring: Interpretation of ECG and Holter monitoring; electrophysiological study. Management of Arrhythmias: Antiarrhythmic medications, electrical cardioversion, ablation therapy, implantable devices (pacemakers and ICDs). Special Populations: Elderly, Pregnant women and patients with co-morbidities, Arrhythmias. Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk Pathophysiology of hypertension: Primary vs Secondary hypertension; Target organ damage (heart, kidney, brain). Diagnosis and Monitoring: Method of measuring blood pressure, ambulatory BP monitoring, home BP monitoring. Treatment of Hypertension: Lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatment (ACE inhibitors, diuretics, calcium channel blockers and beta-blockers). Secondary causes of resistant hypertension, novel agents and interventions. Valvular Heart Diseases Heart Valves: Anatomy and Physiology; Normal function and abnormalities of heart valves. Common Valvular Diseases: Infective endocarditis, Mitral Regurgitation, Rheumatic heart disease, Aortic Stenosis. Diagnosis: Clinical signs, echocardiography, Doppler studies and transesophageal echocardiography. Medical Management, Indications for Valve Repair/Replacement, Transcatheter Valve Therapies. Cardiovascular Genetics and Inherited Diseases Genetic Basis of Cardiovascular Disease: How genetics are involved in congenital heart defects, arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies. Inborn Cardiomyopathies: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Dilated cardiomyopathy, Restrictive cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Genetic Testing and Counseling: The use of genetic testing in risk assessment and management, ethical issues, family counseling. Peripheral Arterial and Venous Disease Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): Epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology and clinical presentation. Diagnosis of PAD: ABI, Doppler ultrasonography, CT angiography, MR angiography. Treatment of PAD: Medical management (antiplatelet, statins), revascularization procedures, and lifestyle changes. Venous Diseases: Varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Diagnosis and management. Cardiac Rehabilitation and Preventive Cardiology Cardiac Rehabilitation: Principles, Multidisciplinary approach and Psychosocial support in cardiac rehabilitation. Secondary Prevention: Importance of lifestyle modification, pharmacologic therapy and monitoring to limit the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. Risk Stratification & Prevention: High risk patients, cholesterol management, smoking cessation, diabetes control. Emerging Trends in Preventive Cardiology: Use of biomarkers, genetic risk factors, and AI in cardiovascular prevention. Advanced Cardiac Interventions Coronary Intervention Techniques: Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), drug-eluting stents and angioplasty. Structural Heart Disease: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), Mitral valve repair procedures and Left atrial appendage closure.
