Alexanders Expand Support for Heart Valve Research

Proposed design of a 1mm catheter-based ultrasound device designed to simultaneously measure plaque composition, artery structure, and hemodynamics in 3D in coronary arteries. The device minimizes disturbances to blood flow from the catheter itself. Assistant Professor Brooks Lindsey is leading a new $2.5 million project to develop the device, which will help doctors assess whether patients need aggressive treatment to prevent a heart attack.
