[Leica] IMG: Why I Keep on Ticking

[Ted Grant]

Hi Lluis & Jim,
I've seen and photographed any number of heart valves being replaced. But I never in all my years ever saw one that looked like that? Quite interesting.
I'll show the picture to a heart surgeon buddy of mine, who before retirement recently was one of the top heart surgeons of Canada.
cheers,
Dr. Ted

When I had a stress test earlier this year, one of the nurses finally asked, "What am I hearing?"  This is 1990s technology, but, in the spirit of Halloween, I thought someone might be interested.
