生物医学工程哲学博士-心脏电生理学和生物物理学

心脏电生理学和生物物理学是一门涵盖心脏的所有电活动的学科，既包括基础科学也包括临床组成部分，涵盖从分子到整个人体的整个光谱。该领域的研究解决了有关细胞，器官和身体功能的一些最基本的问题，并力求开发可能对心脏和血管系统疾病产生深远影响的方法，干预措施和设备。尽管临床检测和护理有了显着改善，但心血管疾病仍然是发达国家的主要死亡原因。心脏电生理学的研究在生物仪器，多通道信号采集和处理，分子生物学，多种模式的成像，数学模拟和建模以及计算机技术的各个方面都利用了最先进的技术。
Cardiovascular engineering is a discipline which covers a wide range of topics related to function of the cardiovascular system, mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases, and their treatment. Cardiovascular engineering includes basic science and translational to clinical use and spans the spectrum from the molecular scale to the complete body. Research in cardiovascular engineering addresses some of the most basic questions of how cells, organs, and the body function. The research also seeks to develop diagnostic approaches, interventions, and biomedical devices that have profound impact on treatment of patients with cardiac diseases. Despite dramatic improvements in clinical diagnosis and care, cardiovascular diseases remain the leading causes of death in developed countries. Research in cardiovascular engineering makes use of the most advanced technologies in areas such as molecular and cellular biology, bioinstrumentation, imaging across many modalities, signal and image processing, machine learning, mathematical simulation and modeling, and all aspects of computer technology. As a result of this diversity of biomedical and technical research, students with graduate training in cardiovascular engineering receive a broad education in physiology, cardiac diseases and biomedical technology. The graduates will be extremely well equipped for careers in academia and industry. The program makes use of background courses from several departments as well as specialized training in the discipline through both courses and extensive laboratory experiences. Because of the outstanding research emphasis on cardiovascular engineering at Utah, there also exist rich opportunities for interaction with a wide range of experts in the field as well as involvement in interdisciplinary projects within teams of related researchers and students.
