Muratovski is director of the Myron E. Ullman Jr. School of Design in UC's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning.

Although the technology requires further validation, researchers said it could help improve the identification of patients with heart failure, valvular conditions and left ventricular hypertrophy before they become symptomatic, which could improve the prognosis for people with these conditions.
