AORTIC DISEASE FROM BENCH TO BEDSIDE
The basics of vascular biology, as it applies to abdominal aortic aneurysm disease. Gain an understanding of pathophysiology of aneurysm disease, animal models of aortic aneurysm, and knowledge on experimental approaches to develop biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. Experience medical treatment of aneurysm disease in the clinic, and how risk factors identified from basic science techniques are applied at the bedside.
