Division of Cardiology

The Division of Cardiology encompasses the entire spectrum of care of patients with cardiovascular disease. As such, faculty members of the division not only assume responsibility for the care of the entire patient, but also focus on highly specialized areas of patient care.

The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program at the University of New Mexico involves three years of clinical cardiology training in an active academic medical center and its affiliated Veterans Administration Hospital. Read more.

Division of Cardiology pursues research, clinical programs

Cardiology

The focus on highly specialized areas of patient care is a direct result of the explosion of knowledge and advances in technology in cardiovascular medicine over the past 20 years. Accordingly, the division is comprised of groups of individuals who provide such highly specialized services. These groups can be broadly categorized as follows- invasive and interventional cardiology; non-invasive cardiovascular imaging; electrophysiology; preventive cardiology; and several additional areas of particular interest that cut across the above disciplines (adult congenital heart disease, heart disease in women).

In addition to the clinical mission of the division, faculty members are engaged in specific areas of research within their sub-specialty. The reader is referred to the research activities section for further information. Finally, faculty members are continuously engaged in the education of students, physicians-in-training and each other. This is the essence of working within a university environment and it is this "culture" which is unique in the state of New Mexico.
