Course Description

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major causes of death globally, taking an estimated 18.9 million lives each year. Lifestyle factors, including nutrition, play an important role in the causation of cardiovascular diseases. Nutrition therapy can modulate cardiac disease in multiple ways such as, by slowing the progression, minimizing the number of drugs required, improving quality of life, or, in some cases helping cure the disease. There is a huge potential for nutrition therapy as an important adjunct to medical therapy in patients with cardiac disease.

The Certificate in Cardiac Nutrition course will cover evidence-based nutrition management guidelines for various cardiac conditions. You will learn to provide nutrition therapy for dyslipidemia which is an important risk factor for cardiac diseases. You will also learn the nutritional management of hypertension, which is another major condition in the community and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. By the end of this course, you will understand the principles underlying the use of nutrition therapy in the prevention and management of cardiac diseases.

Course Eligibility:  Nutritionists, General Physicians, Specialists, and  Interns. 

Course validity: 4 months. There will be an extra charge for the extension of the course validity.
