THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING

Course objectives

The aim of the course is to: • have knowledge of the epidemiology and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the clinical presentation of the main cardiovascular and respiratory diseases • to value the contribution of pathological anatomy, relating it to the epidemiology and the clinic, as an instrument to better understand the etiopathogenetic processes and the natural history of the morbid processes • have knowledge of the main diagnostic techniques of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases • be able to interpret the quantitative and qualitative results of diagnostic, instrumental and laboratory tests and use them to develop an adequate diagnostic and therapeutic procedure
