After completing this eLearning course, participants will be able to: 

• Understand the Basics of Cardio-Oncology: Gain foundational knowledge about the intersection of cardiology and oncology, including the importance of managing cardiovascular health in cancer patients.
• Identify Common Cardiovascular Complications of Cancer Therapies: Learn to recognize the most frequent cardiovascular toxicities associated with cancer treatments.
• Apply Guideline-Based Risk Stratification and prevention: Learn to stratify cardiovascular risk in cancer patients and to initiate appropriate preventive interventions based on individual patient profiles.
• Implement Basic Cardiovascular Monitoring Strategies: Develop skills to implement standard monitoring protocols for cardiovascular health in cancer patients, including the use of echocardiography, biomarkers, and ECGs to detect early signs of cardiotoxicity.
• Apply Guideline-Based Cardiotoxicity Management: Learn to initiate appropriate therapeutic interventions based on individual patient profiles.
• Collaborate with Oncology Teams for Integrated Care: Understand the importance of interdisciplinary communication and collaboration with oncology teams to optimize patient outcomes and prevent or manage cardiovascular complications during cancer treatment.

Prerequisites:

This Level 1 online programme is designed to provide general cardiologists, non-cardiologists, and other healthcare professionals with a comprehensive introduction to cardio-oncology. The course starts with the fundamentals, ensuring that participants gain a solid foundation in the field.

No prior knowledge of cardio-oncology is required. However, a basic understanding of cardiology, oncology, or internal medicine may be beneficial to facilitate learning. The programme is open to licensed and in-training professionals, including cardiologists, oncologists, hematologists, internal medicine specialists, general practitioners (GPs), and any healthcare provider involved in the management of cancer patients at risk of cardiovascular complications.

By the end of the course, participants will have a clear understanding of the key principles of cardio-oncology, including risk assessment, cardiovascular toxicities, prevention strategies, and basic management approaches.
