Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is of continuing importance as the result of a growing burden of risk factors in both developing and developed countries and the increasing number of elderly people worldwide. The recruitment and training of a new generation of Cardiovascular Pathologists is crucial to sustaining clinical excellence and to advancing our knowledge of cardiovascular disease. These pathologists will also have a key role in undergraduate and postgraduate training. In 2005 a task force of the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology published a document on the role of Cardiovascular Pathology as subspecialty of Anatomical Pathology (Pathological Anatomy). The 2005 report emphasized the need for a core curriculum and structured learning for residents and fellows in Cardiovascular Pathology.

It includes a detailed curriculum and describes three levels of expertise that can be developed
