Short description:	The aims of teaching is to present current knowledge on molecular basis of molecular basis of vascular disease
Full description:	A course includes lectures that present the current knowledge on molecular mechanisms of processes leading to vascular disease. The topics that are presented during the course include: Human Genome Project and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease gene; molecular pathways for cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure; inflammation and immunity in atherogenesis; dyslipidemias and atherogenesis; lipoprotein oxidation, macrophages, immunity and atherogenesis; circulating metals and atherogenesis; blood coagulation and atherothrombosis; molecular pathways in hypertension; chronic infections and cerebrovascular disease; acute infections and cerebrovascular disease; autoimmune mechanisms in pathogenesis of cerebrovascular disease; gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions in vascular disease; and monogenic causes of cerebrovascular disease.

Efekty kształcenia i opis ECTS:	Knowledge B.W21. knows the ways of communication between cells, as well as between the cell and the extracellular matrix as well as signaling pathways in the cell and examples of disorders in these processes leading to the development of cancer and other diseases B.W30. knows the relationship between factors that disturb the balance of biological processes and physiological and pathophysiological changes C.W32. lists external and internal pathogens, modifiable and non-modifiable C.W41. knows the basic directions of therapy development, in particular the possibilities of cell therapy, gene and targeted therapy in specific diseases ECTS POINTS (1 ECTS point means 25-30 hours of student work) Form of classes Number of hours to complete the activity Seminar Participation in classes 15 h Preparation for the exam 30 h Participation in consultations 10 h Sum 55 h ECTS number (55 hours / 2 ECTS 30 (25) hours = 1 ECTS) Total Points: 2 ECTS
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	The student’s work in frame of learning of “Molecular basis of vascular disease” is verified through written test – verification of education effects by written test partially one-choice examination and open question test. Final test appraisal (partially one-choice examination and open question test) to get a pass on third min. 50% is required, for third plus – 60%, for second: 70%, for second plus: 80%, for first: 90%.
