Better Edge : A Northwestern Medicine Podcast For Physicians

In this episode of Better Edge, Akhil Narang, MD, associate professor of Cardiology at Northwestern Medicine, examines the phase 3 ENHANCE trial, which evaluates a novel syringe-mounted surfactant device designed to generate uniform microbubbles and reduce variability in saline contrast echocardiography. By improving right-heart opacification and the fidelity of right-to-left shunt detection, the device aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce rates of non-diagnostic and repeat studies. Rooted in Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute’s commitment to advancing translational imaging, this trial may improve both workflow efficiency and patient care.
