MEDI G860 - Procedural Cardiology


Credits: 4

The Cardiology elective is designed to help the student understand and interpret the tests available to evaluate a patient’s cardiac function. The student will observe and help perform cardiac stress tests, TEE’s, TTE’s and Cardiac catheterizations.  The student will have the opportunity to discuss risks and benefits for each procedure with the patients, follow the patient through the procedure and interpret and discuss the results of the studies with cardiology faculty.  The student will also have the opportunity to evaluate patients to asses their ability to tolerate surgery from a cardiac perspective.
