He teaches in numerous courses and is on the graduate faculties in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physiology, and Neuroscience. His main research focus is translational systems physiology, and his research group has developed a unique isolated working large mammalian heart model: see http://www.vhlab.umn.edu/atlas/. Other research interests include cardiac pacing, skeletal muscle pathophysiology (malignant hyperthermia), thermoregulation, black bear hibernation, wound healing, and spine biomechanics. In 2002, Paul Iaizzo
was awarded as a Distinguished University Teaching Professor for graduate studies. He is also the Director for Education of the Lillehei Heart Institute and an Associate Director of the Institute for Engineering in Medicine.
Keynotes Bio:
David G. Benditt, MD, FACC, FRCP(C), FHRS, FESC
David G. Benditt, MD, FACC, FRCPC, FHRS, FESC was born in Winnipeg, Canada, received a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering and an MD degree from the University of Manitoba. Following postgraduate training in Internal Medicine he completed a cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology Fellowship at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina. Thereafter, he joined the faculty of the Cardiovascular Division in the Department of Medicine at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Benditt is currently Professor of Medicine and Co-director of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Center at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. His principal research interests are in the evaluation of fainting spells and related autonomic disturbances. His clinical interests include evaluation and management of cardiac arrhythmias (including ablation) and treatment of syncope.
Dr. Benditt has been an Established Investigator of the American Heart Association, President of both the American Heart Association-Minnesota Affiliate and the North American Society for Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE, now the Heart Rhythm Society). He was been awarded the Pioneer in Pacing and Electrophysiology Award of the Heart Rhythm Society in 2007, and the Outstanding Clinician Award at the University of Minnesota in 2010.
