The professionals in the Cardiology Service also participate in the teaching of several subjects in the following Master’s degree courses:

• University of Barcelona Master’s Degree in Advanced Medical Skills (haemodynamics and endoluminal therapies, arrhythmias, cardiac imaging, inherited heart disease and syndromes associated with sudden cardiac arrest and acute cardiac care)

Nursing professionals also organize a Master’s Degree in Cardiovascular Nursing and benchmark continuous training courses. A subspecialist training programme in heart failure, cardiovascular risk and atrial fibrillation started recently.

Afterwards, many of them take one of the subspecialist programmes for a variable period of between 1 and 3 years in interventional cardiology, arrhythmias, cardiac imaging and acute cardiac care. Moreover, the professionals in the Service carry out continuous training sessions seven days a week.
