Deep phenotyping of cardiac function in heart transplant patients using cardiovascular systems models [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Heart transplant patients are followed with periodic right heart catheterizations (RHCs) to identify post-transplant complications and guide treatment. Post-transplant positive outcomes are associated with a steady reduction of right ventricular and pulmonary arterial pressures, toward normal levels of right-side pressure (about 20mmHg) measured by RHC.

Conformance Checking for a Medical Training Process Using Petri net Simulation and Sequence Alignment [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Process Mining has recently gained popularity in healthcare due to its potential to provide a transparent, objective and data-based view on processes. Conformance checking is a sub-discipline of process mining that has the potential to answer how the actual process executions deviate from existing guidelines. In this work, we analyze a medical training

Hydrodynamics of catheter biofilm formation [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 A hydrodynamic model is proposed to describe one of the most critical problems in intensive medical care units: the formation of biofilms inside central venous catheters. The incorporation of approximate solutions for the flow-limited diffusion equation leads to the conclusion that biofilms grow on the internal catheter wall due to the counter-stream ...

Angiopoietin-2 predicts morbidity in adults with Fontan physiology. [PDF]
, 2019 Morbidity in patients with single-ventricle Fontan circulation is common and includes arrhythmias, edema, and pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) among others. We sought to identify biomarkers that may predict such complications.
