Modules

Aneurysm, Peripheral Vein Disease & Stroke (20 Credits) - Core

This unit will introduce students to both clinical and translational aspects of peripheral vascular disease (PVD), aneurysms, and stroke. Students will gain an understanding of clinical aspects of these disease processes, including an appreciation of patient screening principles, patient assessment and relevant clinical investigations and diagnostic strategies while an overview of the pathobiology of PVD, aneurysms and stroke will be given. Moreover, the genomics, epidemiology, clinical presentation and complications of PVD, aneurysms and stroke will be described. The roles of different medical treatments will be outlined and an overview of medical management and therapeutic (radiological and surgical) interventions will be given. Finally, relevant key clinical trials and pre-clinical models and the rationale for their use will be discussed aiming to give the students an insight into areas of development of translational research and emerging therapeutic strategies and technologies (including the use of stem cells, novel clinical pharmacology approaches, micro-RNAs and gene therapy).
