Residency
A primary mission
of the Division of Cardiology is the training of leaders for academic
cardiovascular medicine. In the clinical sphere, the division has
responsibility for clinical and consultative cardiology, the coronary
care units, cardiac catheterization, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology,
echocardiography, cardiac radionuclide and exercise studies.
Electives
may be arranged during the residency programs for those wishing
intense exposure in cardiovascular medicine. The teaching program
has scheduled regular conferences in each of the subspecialty
areas. Investigative opportunities are available in many areas.
In molecular cardiology, researchers are studying ways to regulate
the smooth muscle response to vascular wall injury. The division
is pursuing clinical investigation of new approaches to coronary
intervention. The catheterization program has established a core
angiographic laboratory, which serves as a resource for several
national trials of new interventions.
The electrophysiology
area is active in new methods of catheter ablation of tachyarrhythmias,
and the noninvasive laboratories are examining the clinical utility
of new stress modalities.
