The total workload of the discipline is 72 academic hours, 2 credits.
The primary goals of the discipline Functional Diagnostics are mastering modern diagnostic methods, which are used in cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and nephrology and required for differentiating the diagnosis of diseases in internal organs, evaluating their functional status, monitoring the effectiveness of therapy and dynamic monitoring of the patient’s condition.
The objectives of the discipline Functional Diagnostics are as follows: developing the ability to work with medical and technical equipment; analysing and interpreting the results of electrocardiography, transesophageal electrical stimulation of the heart, ambulatory 24-hour monitoring of blood pressure and ECG, ECHO-CG, ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity, retroperitoneal space, spirometry, and pulse oximetry.
Place of the discipline in Basic Professional Educational Programme (BPEP). The academic discipline Functional Diagnostics refers to the variable part of the C1 block of the discipline. Functional Diagnostics is one of the obligatory disciplines in the variable part, which is interlinked with such disciplines as Anatomy; Biology; Biochemistry; Histology, Embryology, Cytology; Normal Physiology; Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases, and Radiation Diagnostics. The main topics of the discipline are necessary for studying the clinical disciplines: Faculty
Therapy, Occupational Diseases; Polyclinic Therapy; Infectious Diseases; Neurology, Medical Genetics; Paediatrics; Hospital Therapy, Endocrinology; Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation, Intensive Care.
Content of the discipline. This discipline contains 6 sections: clinical electrocardiography, functional diagnosis of the cardiovascular system, basics of ultrasound diagnosis of internal organs, functional diagnosis of the respiratory system, functional diagnosis of the digestive system, functional diagnosis of the urinary system.
Student’s competences acquired through successful completion of the discipline Functional Diagnostics. The process of studying the discipline is aimed at forming the components of the following competences in accordance with Federal State Educational
