Prerequisites
Before attending the coures, the student should be optimally confident
with the anatomy, physiology, pathology, physiopathology and semeiotic
of the cardiovascular system

through a written assignment with multiple choice questions on theory
and clinical cases. the evaluation will be based on a mark out of thirty
