Course Description:
If you have no patients with Cardiovascular disease, you aren't asking the right questions. Do abbreviations like VSD, TPA, S1, and AED leave you scratching your head? Do you feel uneasy about your knowledge of cardiovascular disease? You are not alone! The purpose of this course is to provide you with a better understanding of cardiovascular diseases and facilitate better communication among the health professions. It condenses and enhances what you learned in school and brings you up-to-date in this important subject, so that you can screen patients for cardiovascular disease, and obtain appropriate consultation where indicated. This course is replete with illustrations to help visualize the content. The subject has ramifications not only for our patients but also for ourselves and our families. Enjoy updating yourself on the medical aspects of dentistry.
