Using Engineering to Predict Stroke

Monday, 25 November 2013 | by Pat's Picks

A Minnesota cardiologist and a Berkeley professor are working on a way to predict and prevent stroke after heart procedures. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune says the pair is using supercomputers to develop models that determine how particles leave the heart and which ones may cause stroke. The research is crucial, since an increasingly popular aortic valve replacement procedure leads to an increase risk of stroke.
