Chung, Charles ; Kovacs, Sandor ; Shmuylovich, Leonid ; Zhang, Weixiong
T-007562

— Technology Description Researchers in the Cardiovascular Biophysics Laboratory at Washington University developed a patented, real-time, automated index to reliably detect delayed relaxation during cardiac catheterization diagnostics. This technique, called pressure recovery ratio (PRR), serves as…
