Abnormal blood flow patterns have been shown to cause disease of blood vessels, but are not currently studied in the routine evaluation of patients. With an innovative new MRI technique that allows dynamic visualization of flowing blood, we aim to study aberrant flow patterns that place patients at substantial risk for potentially life-threatening vascular disease. Our preliminary results in patients with a relatively common heart valve defect (seen in up to 4 million Americans) suggest a link between altered flow and aortic aneurysm, or pathologic dilation of the central artery arising from the heart.
FAIR is teleconferenced from C309 (Parnassus) to China Basin, VAMC and SFGH locations. Please go to the location closest to you.
