Congratulations Neil Brysiewicz

Neil Brysiewicz presented his Master's thesis "Spatial resolution of automated pacempa matching in patients with ventricular tachycardia." Neil is now with the Yale New Haven hospital electrophysiology division and is excited to have completed his Master's degree in Clinical Research Methods and Epidemiology from Loyola University Chicago. Neil's work focused on the correlation of automated matching electrocardiograms captured during ventricular tachycardia with pacempping. These measures are used to identify the area that should be ablated for treatment of ventricular tachycardia. We congratulate him on this work and we look forward to seeing his manuscript published!

Congratulations Zheng Yu

Congratulations Zheng Yu on publication of her manuscript entitled "Association of Carotid Intima Media Thickness (CIMT) with Progression of Urine Albumin/Creatinine Ratios in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis." Dr. Yu is a recent graduate of the Masters Program in Clinical Research Methods at Loyola University Chicago. Her manuscript will be published in an upcoming issue of the American Journal of Kidney Disease. Dr. Yu created a new method to analyze changes in urine albumin excretion, a marker of kidney damage. With this method, she demonstrated a signficant association between a measure of atherosclerosis and progression of urine albumin excretion. Her study utilized data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a large cohort of adults without baseline clincial cardiovascular disease. This research was Dr. Yu's master's thesis.
