THE POPULAR MAGAZINE AND ONLINE WEBSITE, POPULAR SCIENCE HAS JUST NAMED THEIR TOP INNOVATIONS OF THE YEAR WITH THEIR “BEST OF WHAT’S NEW 2009” AWARDS. AT THE TOP OF THE LIST WAS A STETHESCOPE, SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR CLOSE TO 200 YEARS, BUT HAS COME OUT WITH A NEW TWIST.
THE INVENTION OF THE LITTMAN ELECTROINC STEHOSCOPE NOT ONLY LISTENS TO PATIENTS HEARTBEATS, BUT IS NOW ABLE TO SEND THE SOUNDS OF THE BEAT TO A CARDIOSCANNING MACHINE TO DETECT HEART ABNOMALITIES.
BEFORE, EVEN TOP PHYSCIANS HAD TROUBLE DETETING HEART ABNORMATLITIES BY JUST SOUND ALONE. BUT THE NEW STETHOSCOPE CAN EASILY DETECT HOLES IN THE HEART, INTERRUPTED BLOOD FLOW, LEAKS IN HEART VALVES AND MUCH MORE.
THE NEW INVENTION IS SOMETHING MANY PHYSICIAN OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE EMBRACING SINCE IT ELIMATES THE GUESSING STAGES OF HEART CONDITIONS AND FINDS THEM QUICKER AND EASIER THAN EVER BEFORE.
