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.

Vortex formation and instability in the left ventricle [PDF]
, 2011 We study the formation of the mitral vortex ring during early diastolic filling in a patient-specific left ventricle (LV) using direct numerical simulation. The geometry of the left ventricle is reconstructed from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data of a healthy human subject.

Progression of Coronary Artery Calcium and Incident Heart Failure: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundAlthough the association between coronary artery calcium (CAC) and future heart failure (HF) has been shown previously, the value of CAC progression in the prediction of HF has not been investigated.

Total plasma sulfde in mild to moderate diastolic heart dysfunction [PDF]
, 2018 Background. Te early pathophysiological mechanisms of diastolic dysfunction are not understood well. Hydrogen sulfde is an important endogenous gaseous transmitter that can infuence heart remodeling.

Experimental investigation of the flow downstream of a dysfunctional bileaflet mechanical aortic valve [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Mechanical heart valve replacement is the preferred alternative in younger patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve disease. However, thrombus and pannus formations are common complications associated with bileaflet mechanical heart valves. This leads to risks of valve leaflet dysfunction, a life threatening event.

Early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in workers: role of standard and advanced echocardiography [PDF]
, 2018 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) still remains the main cause of morbidity and mortality and consequently early diagnosis is of paramount importance. Working conditions can be regarded as an additional risk factor for CVD. Since different aspects of the job

A local optimal diastolic inequality on the two-sphere [PDF]
Journal of Topology and Analysis, Vol. 2 (2010), No 1, 109-121, 2008 Using a ramified cover of the two-sphere by the torus, we prove a local optimal inequality between the diastole and the area on the two-sphere near a singular metric. This singular metric, made of two equilateral triangles glued along their boundary, has been conjectured by E.

Left ventricular diastolic function in relation to the urinary proteome: a proof-of-concept study in a general population [PDF]
, 2014 Background: In previous studies, we identified two urinary proteomic classifiers, termed HF1 and HF2, which discriminated subclinical diastolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction from normal.
