Researchers are pioneering new ultrasound techniques that provide the first characterization of multidirectional blood flow in the heart. By focusing on fluid dynamics – specifically, the efficiency with which blood enters and exits the heart’s left ventricle – the researchers believe they can detect heart disease even when traditional measures show no sign of trouble.
