WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – A new procedure for predicting heart attack, developed by Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center physicians, will be demonstrated in a live webcast Tuesday Feb. 20 at 5 p.m.
By speeding up the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and creating new software, Medical Center researchers have made it possible for physicians to see heart movement within seconds after it happens — compared to an average of five minutes to see images previously. Wake Forest Baptist is one of two sites nationwide using the software, called CardioVue.
