Computational Rheo‐Hydrodynamic Analysis of Non‐Newtonian Blood Flow Through a Tilted Ellipsoidal Stenosed Vascular Segment

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Non‐Newtonian blood flow through multiple tilted ellipsoidal stenoses is numerically investigated using the DeKee‐Turcotte‐Papanastasiou model. The results reveal asymmetric velocity fields, elevated wall shear stress, significant pressure drops, and shear‐dependent thermal effects, highlighting the critical hemodynamic risks associated with eccentric ...

The Fontan Circulation: Contemporary Review of Ongoing Challenges and Management Strategies

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2018
Since its original description, the Fontan operation has been widely used for the palliation of children with single ventricle physiology and has resulted in an increasing number of these patients surviving to adulthood.

Use of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Therapies in Patients with a Fontan Circulation: Current Practice Across the United Kingdom

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background The Fontan circulation is a successful operative strategy for abolishing cyanosis and chronic volume overload in patients with congenital heart disease with single ventricle physiology. “Fontan failure” is a major cause of poor quality of life

Adenosine‐Sensitive Focal Atrial Tachycardia Late After Atriopulmonary Connection Fontan Procedure: A Case Report

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
We describe a case of adenosine‐sensitive focal atrial tachycardia (AT) in a patient late after atriopulmonary connection (APC) Fontan procedure. Radiofrequency application successfully abolished the AT; meanwhile, conversion to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) and/or Maze procedure may fail to suppress the AT because the origin was crista ...

Cardiovascular Health in Women—Across the Lifespan

Clinical Endocrinology, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 539-555, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity among women worldwide. However, CVD continues to be perceived as a predominantly male issue. CVD in women therefore remains understudied, underrecognized and undertreated.

Association of Fontan Circulation With Gut Microbiome Derived Straight and Branched Short Chain Fatty Acids

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 1825-1836, June 2026.
Adults with Fontan circulation (n = 20) and matched controls underwent body composition, frailty testing, CPET, and NICaS hemodynamics. Plasma short‐chain fatty acids were quantified by LC–MS/MS. Fontan patients had higher straight and branched SCFAs, correlating with lower muscle mass, greater frailty, reduced VO2max, and worse resting/postexercise ...

Computational Modeling Meets 3D Bioprinting: Emerging Synergies in Cardiovascular Disease Modeling

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 17, 8 May 2026.
Emerging advances in three‐dimensional bioprinting and computational modeling are reshaping cardiovascular (CV) research by enabling more realistic, patient‐specific tissue platforms. This review surveys cutting‐edge approaches that merge biomimetic CV constructs with computational simulations to overcome the limitations of traditional models, improve ...

Failing Homeostasis of Quadriceps Muscle Energy- and pH Balance During Bicycling in a Young Patient With a Fontan Circulation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2019
Aims: Patients with a congenital heart condition palliated with a Fontan circulation generally present with decreased exercise capacity due to impaired cardiopulmonary function.
