About the Course

Cardiovascular diseases are – according to the (World Health Organization (WHO) – the number one cause of death globally. Myocardial infarction (heart attack) is the most prominent under the Cardiovascular diseases. In Switzerland alone, the risk to develop a coronary heart disease during life time is around 25% for men and 18% for women. Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing behavioral risk factors, the understanding of these risk factors, their mechanisms and impact on the cardiovascular system. In this context our course aims to approach the complex field of myocardial infarction in two respects: medical education and awareness of a broader audience....

I think is a really good course for a review, in case you already have the knowledge about the topics, because can help you to organize your study time, but it will be better if we're able to see more information about ECG and the pharmacology and therapeutics of the drugs using for the treatment of this diseases.

Curso de gran utilidad, conceptos claros emitidos por los expertos; pero algunos exámenes complejos ya que tienen preguntas donde no se aclara si solo una o varias son las respuestas correctas, Además en los videos y en las lecturas complementarias NO se mencionan los conceptos que se están interrogando.

A good, theoretical approach to help you begin to understand myocardial infarction and heart failure. It covers most of their relevent aspects. I would have liked to see some ECG and case-based learning in this course. Nonetheless, the teachers and recommended readings are really great!

the course is wonderful if you are interested in cardiology, And I love the reading part with the latest ESC guidelines only thing I would change is it to be more interactive lectures and have more interesting questions

The course content is good, but if you're not willing to buy the certificate, the quizzes cannot be submitted or graded. Therefore, you cannot get a grade for the course.

Trata-se de um curso básico sobre IAM e sua história natural, com abordagem clara e sucinta sobre diagnóstico, tratamento e prognóstico.

Sometimes the presentations were hastily prepared with lots of English language typos. THE final assessment was the worst one. But overall it was a vwery necessary and well-done course.

i would have loved if the course was lead by one prof rather than many. Also it was really hard to understand some although they all were very knowledgeable.

While it is VERY clear that the lecturers are highly knowledgable, it is also evident that they are treating physicians with a narrow specialisation. The course jumps around from being very introductory to highly specialised (cardiovascular physician/therapy advice) which is difficult to follow if you're a non-specialist (based on my personal opinion as a current PhD student reading human physiology at a university renowned for physiology). Some of the information was inaccurate and the quizzes were not structured in a way that would test deeper understanding but, rather the ability to recite the exact information stated by the lecturer. The quiz questions were also very convoluted aimed at catching you not on attention to detail rather than understanding on content, as a native English speaker, I found it very difficult to follow and answer the question at hand. Lastly, certain points that were made were made as "maybe something between X-Y"/ "possibly 12 or maybe even 20" while the quiz then presented those numbers as facts/medical protocol. Overall, the course is interesting, it covers a very wide range of topics, and provides access to great external reading that I may not have otherwise stumbled upon. The lecturers are clearly exceptionally knowledgable, the content is well organised, but the delivery wasn't the most comprehensive.
