Knowledge of diseases related to the extreme consequences of the main pathology linked to aging, namely atherosclerosis, is central to the training of the modern health worker. In fact, it is important to keep in mind the progressive increase in the average age and the progressive growth of the diabetic "pandemic", which is one of the most serious determinants of atherosclerosis. The knowledge, therefore the prevention and treatment, of peripheral vascular diseases is able to increase the average age of the population (e.g. by preventing the rupture of aortic aneurysms) and to improve their quality of life by avoiding their disability (p. e.g. preventing cerebrovascular accidents and lower limb loss due to gangrene). In recent years, there has been a steady growth in the demand for angiological training by General Medicine, as well as in the demand for mass diagnostic tests (such as ultrasound Doppler), and vascular specialists.

To acquire knowledge of cardiac diseases, known to be the main cause of premature deaths.
All cardiovascular diseases, whether ischemic or of different ethiologies, are responsible for reduced quality of life, reduced physical capacity, disability and eventually death. Understanding the pathology and learning how to reach a timely diagnosis will help in achieving the best form of treatment, avoiding progressive worsening of the pathology and of the symptoms.
