A coupled mitral valve -- left ventricle model with fluid-structure interaction

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the interaction between the valves and walls of the heart is important in assessing and subsequently treating heart dysfunction. With advancements in cardiac imaging, nonlinear mechanics and computational techniques, it is now possible to ...

Fluid-structure interaction simulation of prosthetic aortic valves : comparison between immersed boundary and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian techniques for the mesh representation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In recent years the role of FSI (fluid-structure interaction) simulations in the analysis of the fluid-mechanics of heart valves is becoming more and more important, being able to capture the interaction between the blood and both the surrounding ...

Color M-Mode Echocardiography for Non-Invasive Assessment of the Intraventricular Pressure in Dogs Before and After Ductus Arteriosus Occlusion: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
BackgroundNovel non-invasive evaluation of the intraventricular pressure differences and gradients (IVPD and IVPG) by color M-mode echocardiography (CMME) is a promising method in diastolic function evaluation.

Changes and classification in myocardial contractile function in the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this research, we hypothesized that novel biomechanical parameters are discriminative in patients following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Discrepancies in Assessing Diastolic Function in Pre-Clinical Heart Failure Using Different Algorithms—A Primary Care Study

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
Background: Current guidelines on diastolic function (DF) by the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASE/EACVI) have been disputed and two alternative algorithms have been proposed by Johansen et ...

Estimation of elastic and viscous properties of the left ventricle based on annulus plane harmonic behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function with an emphasis on contractility has been a challenge in cardiac mechanics during the recent decades. The LV function is usually described by the LV pressurevolume (P-V) diagram. The standard P-V diagrams

Dose Impaired Relaxation of Left Ventricle Affect Early Outcomes [PDF]

open access: yesActa Medica Iranica, 2010
Although systolic dysfunction is revealed as a prognostic factor in cardiac surgery , the role of diastolic dysfunction as a predictive factor is less evaluated. In this retrospective study from 872 patients that underwent isolated coronary artery bypass

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Is Associated with NT-proBNP in Patients with New Onset Heart Failure

open access: yesMedicina, 2023
Background and Objectives: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is emerging as an important imaging tool for sub-phenotyping and estimating left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP).

The Deconvolution of Diastole

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009
Heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) is a common presentation in elderly persons and seems to have a prognosis almost as bleak as systolic heart failure. Much work on the pathophysiology of this entity has focused on left ventricular (LV) stiffness ([1][1])—indeed, stiffening ...

Aortic valve stenosis: Prognosis and therapy [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2003
There is a long latent period in the clinical course of aortic valve stenosis in adults. Symptoms usually occur in the case of critical stenosis, when aortic orifice area is under 0.7cm2 (0.4 cm2/m2).
