Simple Education Online Cardiac Catheter Lab Courses (4 Parts)

Complete Coronary Angiography, PCI & Structural Heart Intervention Training Program

Simple Education Online Cardiac Catheter Lab Courses (4 Parts) is a comprehensive interventional cardiology training program designed to provide healthcare professionals with practical, real-world knowledge of modern cardiac catheterization, coronary angiography, coronary intervention, structural heart procedures, and valvular heart disease management.

Featuring 43 video lectures, 35 PowerPoint presentations, and 3 PDF resources, this extensive educational package guides learners through the fundamentals and advanced concepts of contemporary catheter laboratory practice. Developed by internationally recognized interventional cardiologists from Imperial College NHS Trust, the course combines evidence-based teaching, procedural demonstrations, case-based learning, and “Case-in-a-Box” simulations to create a highly practical learning experience.

The program is designed to help participants develop the confidence and skills necessary to understand patient selection, procedural planning, catheter-based interventions, and post-procedural management in modern interventional cardiology.

Course Overview

Cardiac catheterization laboratories have evolved rapidly over the past decade with the introduction of advanced coronary interventions, transcatheter valve therapies, intracoronary imaging, physiological assessment tools, and structural heart procedures.

The Simple Education Online Cardiac Catheter Lab Courses provide a structured review of contemporary interventional cardiology practice, covering coronary angiography, coronary stenting, transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI/TAVR), atrial septal defect closure, left atrial appendage occlusion, and management of valvular heart disease.

Participants gain practical insight into procedural techniques, patient selection, imaging interpretation, complication management, and multidisciplinary decision-making essential for modern catheter laboratory practice.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the principles of cardiac catheterization laboratory practice.
• Perform systematic interpretation of coronary angiography.
• Evaluate patients for coronary intervention and revascularization.
• Understand indications and techniques for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
• Identify patients suitable for structural heart interventions.
• Discuss transcatheter valve replacement and repair procedures.
• Apply contemporary evidence-based approaches to valvular heart disease.
• Interpret invasive hemodynamic and angiographic findings.
• Recognize procedural complications and management strategies.
• Improve multidisciplinary communication regarding interventional treatment options.
