Fellows' Research

The division has a strong commitment to providing rewarding research experiences for cardiology fellows, including first author presentation of abstracts and first author manuscripts in leading journals. The program includes a wide range of research interests in the areas of primary angioplasty, supported high-risk angioplasty, atherectomy and other new interventional devices, echocardiography, cardiac MRI, new tracers and devices for nuclear cardiology, pharmacologic treatment of congestive heart failure, implantable defibrillators and arrhythmia ablation and basic science. In addition, the division requires and vigorously supports applications for AHA fellowship research grants and, when appropriate, applications for National Research Service Awards.
