The cardiac engineering group has experience with the development,
design, conduct, and analysis of clinical and laboratory
research. We are able to produce and care for chronically
instrumented large animals. We have a chronic model of left
ventricular infarction and left ventricular aneurysm and
subsequent repair. We have designed and conducted studies
for minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery, minimally
invasive aneurysm repair, and cardiac monitor development.
We have extensive experience with flow probes, vascular
occluders, multi-dimensional digital sonomicrometry, intra-vascular
and endotracheal impedance measurements, volume conductance
catheters, cardiopulmonary bypass, finite element analysis,
MRI scanning, cardiovascular monitor development and bi-axial
tissue mechanics.
We also are able to design and conduct small, medium, and
large (multi-centered) clinical perioperative cardiovascular
research.

Analysis
We have extensive experience with computerized data acquisition,
signal processing, and algorithm development.
