We are investigating the differences that exist between normal and abnormal cardiac valves, specifically by using echocardiographic data to describe valvular morphology and dynamism over the cardiac cycle both qualitatively and quantitatively One of our current focuses is a tricuspid annular...

We have studied the use of simulation training in medical education. Our research has centered on the value of simulation as a component of multi-modal training. We have performed motion analysis for transesophageal echocardiography during training and have been able to see the changes in...

Our current work consists in isolating structures of interest (e.g. mitral valve) from 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic data to create computerized 3-D models that can be 3D printed with commercially available printers. Potential short-term uses for this technology include in vitro...

Our basic research projects are mainly spearheaded by Dr. Robina Matyal whose research interests lie in diabetes-associated cardiovascular disease. She has significant experience in exploring the genetic and cellular mechanisms of disease processes leading to perioperative myocardial dysfunction...

We have recently finished the 12th edition of our Annual Perioperative Echocardiography Course. This year, the course focused on the transition from 2 to 3 Dimensional Echocardiography. Attendees were able to enjoy lectures from world renowned experts in echocardiography, practice hands-on knobology...
