0240854BronzinoImportant advances in "Cardiovascular Technologies" occurred during the past decade; implantable defibrillators, new stent designs for angioplasty, and heart assist devices including new artificial heart designs. Additionally, there have been breakthroughs in "tissue engineering" that are expected to revolutionize the treatment of cardiovascular disease. This area of technology is important with the Symposium and the associated Technology Fair being designed to provide practicing professionals and students interested in bioscience and engineering an opportunity to become familiar with some of the latest developments in the field. The topics to be covered include: "Advances in the Design of the Artificial Heart, the ABIOCOR Artificial Heart Program", "Frontiers of Organ and Tissue Replacement", "Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering", "Fetal Cardiology", "Advances in Interventional Cardiology", and "Electrical Mapping of the Heart". The primary objectives of this Symposium and the Associated Technology Fair are: Present insights into the new research and development efforts underway on developing new cardiovascular technologies.Present examples of successful academic/industrial collaborations in these areas.Provide the opportunity for researchers and entrepreneurs to present innovative approaches and products related to the entire field of biomedical engineering.As illustrated by the topics to be covered, the intellectual merit of the Symposium is high and will have significant impact on the bioscience and biomedical engineering community in the region. Through the publication of the Proceedings a beneficial impact on students and professionals will extend to the national level. The associated Technology Fair provides an opportunity for both students and professionals to discuss the process of innovation with those currently engaged in the technology development process.

在过去的十年中，“心血管技术”取得了重要的进展;植入式心脏瓣膜，用于血管成形术的新支架设计，以及心脏辅助装置，包括新的人工心脏设计。此外，在“组织工程”方面也有突破，有望彻底改变心血管疾病的治疗。这一技术领域非常重要，研讨会和相关的技术博览会旨在为对生物科学和工程感兴趣的专业人士和学生提供熟悉该领域最新发展的机会。 内容包括：“人工心脏设计的进展、ABIOCOR人工心脏计划”、“器官及组织替代的新领域”、“心血管组织工程”、“胎儿心脏病学”、“介入心脏病学的进展”及“心脏电图”。 本次研讨会和相关技术博览会的主要目标是：介绍新的研究和开发工作正在进行的新的心血管技术的见解。介绍在这些领域成功的学术/工业合作的例子。为研究人员和企业家提供机会，介绍与整个生物医学工程领域相关的创新方法和产品。如所涵盖的主题所示，研讨会的学术价值很高，将对该地区的生物科学和生物医学工程界产生重大影响。通过出版的诉讼对学生和专业人员的有益影响将扩大到国家一级。相关的技术博览会为学生和专业人士提供了一个机会，与目前从事技术开发的人员讨论创新过程。
