Latest lab news

The Visible Heart Lab hosted Dr. Earl Bakken for a visit on September 2nd during which faculty, staff, and graduate students had the opportunity to showcase their various research projects. Research collaborators from Medtronic were also on hand to describe their projects and their relationship to the Visible Heart Lab.

Graduate students from the Visible Heart Laboratory manned an educational booth at the Minnesota State Fair on August 28th as part of the University of Minnesota's Academic Health Center (AHC) Day. Using heart models, images from the Atlas of Human Cardiac Anatomy, and preserved human hearts, Eric Richardson, Mike Eggen, and Meredith Thompson fielded questions from fairgoers on cardiac anatomy. The goal was to get people excited about science, medicine, and biomedical engineering. Thanks also to Gary Williams for leading this effort and setting up the booth!

Rebecca Li co-authored an article "Mechanical Stress: An Independent Determinant of Early Bioprosthetic Calcification in Humans" that was recently published in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery. Other co-authors include Kenneth Liao, Ranjit John, Devesh Amatya, Lyle Joyce, Soon Park, Richard Bianco, and R. Morton Bolman. Congratulations!

The article "Novel visualization of intracardiac pacing lead extractions: methodologies performed within isolated canine hearts" was accepted for publication in the Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology. Congratulations to co-authors Charles J. Love, Sarah Ahlberg (PhD, 2007), Medtronic research collaborators Prasanga Hiniduma-Lokuge and Scott Brabec, and Paul Iaizzo!

Paul Iaizzo attended the Cardiostim 2008 Meeting (June 17-20, 2008) in Nice, France where he facilitated a hands-on demonstration promoting research from the Visible Heart Lab.
