Course Overview
Elevate your clinical practice with our comprehensive 30-hour course on the Clinical Management of Cardio and Common Vascular Disease. In South Africa, heart disease and stroke are among the leading causes of death, with five people suffering heart attacks and ten experiencing strokes every hour.
Despite awareness campaigns, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality, surpassing all cancers combined. This high mortality rate is largely due to lifestyle factors such as urbanization, smoking, obesity, hypertension, and high cholesterol levels.
