Before prescribing anything, the doctor pulls up a virtual model of your heart on her computer and "treats" it with several drugs. A few moments later, she can see how your heart is doing five years down the road.
Your doctor chooses the treatment with the best long-term outcome, and you live a longer and healthier life.
Two University of Kentucky researchers are working to make this experience a reality for the 5.7 million adults in the U.S. with heart failure.
