Biography:
Tucker serves as president of Dynamic Vascular Resolution Inc. (DVRI), an organization focused on the physics and engineering principles that underly arterial stiffness and its role in cardiovascular disease. By applying engineering-driven transmission line models to pulsatile arterial blood flow, DVRI predicts locations where pulse flow reversals, disturbed hemodynamics, and sclerotic plaque formation are most likely to occur. Such locations are measurable using pulse Doppler ultrasound. Patterns emerge at specific arterial sites and, over time, contribute to major cardiovascular conditions, including stroke myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases.
