Does anybody know of a PhD program in Cardiology in the US?

I'm a European cardiologist partially trained in the US and since I'm also involved in research, I was thinking about doing my PhD in the US.

If anybody has any ideas, please, share!!

From my experience, being an MD is enough to do research in the US. You can apply for a job as a postdoc and then search for your own funding. Why bother spending 5 years doing formal PHD?

I know UCSF has one bc I use to do research there as an undergrad (neurosurgery dept). But like the previous poster said, you probably dont need a PHD to do research......I honestly dont know why people do dual MD/PHD programs (unless if you were a PHD that decided to go to med school).

As the previous poster said an MD is probably equally as well received as an MD/PHD in the research field. You should just probably start some post doc work and kinda move yourself into the field.
