Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, participants will be able to understand Type II Arterial Hypertension and implement new treatment options. Specifically: Understanding Type II Arterial Hypertension: Grasping the factors associated with Type II Arterial Hypertension. Recognizing differences between hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. Implementation of New Treatments: Understanding the latest developments in therapeutic options for Type II Arterial Hypertension. Ability to apply pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Clinical Scenario Specialization: Developing problem-solving skills through familiarity with clinical scenarios. Applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations they may encounter in clinical practice. With this training, participants will gain the necessary experience and understanding to address Type II Arterial Hypertension and apply the most suitable therapeutic approaches in clinical practice.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Work in an interdisciplinary team
Course Content (Syllabus)
The second part of the course on Arterial Hypertension will focus on providing participants with insights into current guidelines from both the European and American Hypertension Societies. Additionally, the course will cover the algorithm for managing, treating, and following up with hypertensive patients. Clinical scenarios will be presented to enhance theoretical knowledge and facilitate clinical familiarization, especially for everyday clinical practice. Here's a breakdown of the key components: Current Guidelines: Overview of the latest guidelines from the European and American Hypertension Societies. Identifying potential differences between the guidelines. Management Algorithm: Analysis of the algorithm for managing hypertensive patients, including the steps involved in assessment, treatment decisions, and follow-up. Treatment Strategies: Understanding various treatment options for hypertension based on the guidelines. Implementation of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Follow-up Protocol: Guidelines and best practices for the follow-up of hypertensive patients to monitor treatment effectiveness and adjust interventions as needed. Clinical Scenarios: Presentation of real-life clinical scenarios to apply theoretical knowledge to practical situations. Development of problem-solving skills in managing hypertensive patients in diverse clinical situations. Application in Clinical Practice: Emphasis on how the knowledge gained can be directly applied to everyday clinical practice. Enhancing participants' ability to make informed decisions and provide optimal care to hypertensive patients. By covering these aspects, the course aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring that participants are well-equipped to handle various scenarios related to arterial hypertension in their clinical practice.
