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 ...

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
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.

: Background: Adults with Fontan failure (FF) have variable presentations and are often diagnosed late. Reliable predictors of FF are unknown. Diastolic dysfunction may be associated with adverse outcomes late after Fontan palliation.

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 ...

Pediatric heart transplantation after a Fontan procedure
The Fontan procedure is a surgical technique used for hemodynamic correction of complex congenital heart defects (CHDs), and is used when radical correction of CHDs is anatomically impossible.

Ventricular‐Arterial Function and Coupling in the Adult Fontan Circulation
Background In adult Fontan patients, ventricular or arterial dysfunction may impact homeostasis of the Fontan circulation and predispose to heart failure. We sought to characterize ventricular‐arterial (VA) properties in adult Fontan patients.

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

This study presents a perfusable 3D bioengineered liver sinusoid platform that integrates biofabrication, 3D cell culture, controlled hemodynamics, and multiparametric characterization to model Fontan‐associated liver disease. By decoupling pressure and hypoxia effects, the system reveals early mechanobiological and profibrotic responses under ...

Dobutamine stress testing in patients with Fontan circulation augmented by biomechanical modeling.
Understanding (patho)physiological phenomena and mechanisms of failure in patients with Fontan circulation-a surgically established circulation for patients born with a functionally single ventricle-remains challenging due to the complex hemodynamics and
