Not applicable.

The graduate of the course is able to clarify and understand the methods and techniques used in cardiac diagnostics. 

Work in the laboratory is conditioned by a valid qualification of "employee knowledgeable for independent activity" according to Vyhl. 50/1978 Coll., Which students must obtain before the start of teaching. Information on this qualification is given in the Dean's Directive Familiarization of students with safety regulations.

Not applicable.

The evaluation of the course is determined by the decree of the course guarantor for the given academic year.
