Fellowship In Clinical Cardiology

Understand the structural and functional anatomy of the heart and vascular system.
Review the physiological mechanisms of cardiac output, blood pressure regulation, and electrophysiology.
Learn how anatomical and physiological principles apply to common cardiac pathologies.

Identify modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Understand guidelines for primary and secondary prevention, including lifestyle modification and

Apply preventive strategies in high-risk populations using risk scoring systems.

Master systematic interpretation of 12-lead ECGs, including arrhythmias and myocardial infarction patterns.
Correlate ECG findings with clinical presentations in acute and chronic cardiac conditions.
Learn to recognize life-threatening abnormalities requiring urgent intervention.

Gain proficiency in echocardiography, stress testing, Holter monitoring, and cardiac imaging.
