At the University of Calgary, I worked with Dr. Julio Garcia Flores on research into hemodynamic forces as a biomarker for heart disease in rTOF patients. I used MATLAB and excel to extract and organize the data. The research was accepted into the ISMRM 2024 conference in Singapore and highlighted the potential of intracardiac forces for early heart disease detection.
