My first news story for @StanfordMed via the work of @ShoaClarke on why Heart Shape Matters. Thanks for gently walking me through the world of cardiac sphericity, Shoa! med.stanford.edu/news/all-ne…
Cardiologists love imaging the 🫀. We focus A LOT on cardiac size📏 & function💪. But what about shape?

Shape matters!
