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

Changes and classification in myocardial contractile function in the left ventricle following acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
In this research, we hypothesized that novel biomechanical parameters are discriminative in patients following acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

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]
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]
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

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]
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).
