The team of doctors from the Heart Hospital in London, joining with the computer animators from Glassworks, have created a model of heart–a virtual heart–that can be used by heart specialist. NewScientist reported that this super-realistic computer model makes it possible to explore the heart’s anatomy in ways not possible in [...]
Heart disease known to be number one killer in the US, and also the major cause of disability. Researches that related to the cure of heart disease have been widely published.
