Question: why are you so interested in the heart

Monica Rozeik answered on 14 Mar 2016:

The heart is a really complicated organ but it works very hard to keep us alive. Do you know the heart will beat nearly 3 billion times in your lifetime? That’s a lot of expectations on the heart and when it goes wrong it can be really bad to the patient. So I like to work on designing devices that can help the heart out, because I feel it does so much for us.
