3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BME 301, BME 302 and BME 303. This course addresses heart disease as an example of how biomedical engineering contributes to the diagnosis and management of patients. Topics include how the normal heart works and how diseases can disrupt normal heart function. Techniques used to measure cardiac function as well as treatments for common heart diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, heart failure and chronic ischemic heart disease are discussed. Student presentations are a major part of this course. Each student will be assigned a recent research paper in cardiology.
