Device Developed
To Put in Heart
And Record Sound

PHILADELPHIA, June 81 tPl.
Medical science has developed
"a tiny microphone, smaller than
a pin head. that is inserted into
the heart so doctors can locate
the exact spot and record the
precise sound of cardiac trouble.
Actually. microphone might be
the wrong word. The device,
produced at the Philadelphia
General Hospital by DR.. David
H. Lewis, Is a miniature trans
Iducer"-a medical application of
naval acoustic technology de-
veloped for antisubmarine war
fare.
DR.. Lewis. aided in his discov-
cry by James B. Brown. jr.,
engineer at the Naval Air De-
velopment Center in suburban
townsville, said the transducer
consists of a barium titanate
element built into a specially
designed cardiac catheter."
DR.. Lewis. 30-year-old assist
ant professor of physiology at
Philadelphia's University of
Pennsylvania and Graduate Hos
pitfalls, said the barium titanate
when properly treated has the
capacity of converting sound
energy into electrical energy"
He added that the sound thus
converted while still inside the
heart travels out through the
catheter and is tape-recorded
and amplified.
