Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Right ventricular failure and pathobiology in patients with congenital heart disease – implications for long-term follow-up

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2013
Right ventricular dysfunction represents a common problem in patients with congenital heart defects, such as Tetralogy of Fallot or pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pro-Arrhythmic Effects of Discontinuous Conduction at the Purkinje Fiber-Ventricle Junction Arising From Heart Failure-Induced Ionic Remodeling – Insights From Computational Modelling

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Heart failure is associated with electrical remodeling of the electrical properties and kinetics of the ion channels and transporters that are responsible for cardiac action potentials.

Variable extent of parallelism in respiratory, circulatory, and neurological traits across lake whitefish species pairs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2013
Parallel adaptive radiation events provide a powerful framework for investigations of ecology's contribution to phenotypic diversification. Ecologically driven divergence has been invoked to explain the repeated evolution of sympatric dwarf and normal ...

Anatomicosurgical segmentectomy of the left ventricle for systematized partial resection of the heart: an experimental study

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 1998
A surgical experimental investigation is being carried out in an attempt to provide a viable alternative to the current approaches to cardiac resection of the left ventricular myocardium in cases of cardiomyopathies with dilated ventricle.

The right ventricle in congenital heart disease [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2006
In patients with congenital heart disease the right ventricle (RV) may support the pulmonary (subpulmonary RV) or the systemic circulation (systemic RV). During the last 50 years evidence is accumulating that RV dysfunction develops in many of these patients and leads to considerable morbidity and mortality.

An algorithm for partitioning of right heart ventricle medial axis

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2010
A right heart ventricle has a complex and irregular shape, this obscures analysis of ventricle surface movements. We are trying to quantitative evaluate morphological changes of right ventricle surface, these changes appear during heart beat cycle ...

Simulation of left ventricular function during dyskinetic or akinetic aneurysm

open access: yesBiomolecules & Biomedicine, 2012
The purpose of our study was to simulate the hemodynamics of left ventricular function after left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) of various sizes and to validate the results of this computer based simulation with patient data.

Left-ventricle myocardium segmentation using a coupled level-set with a priori knowledge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper presents a coupled level-set segmentation of the myocardium of the left ventricle of the heart using a priori information. From a fast marching initialisation, two fronts representing the endocardium and epicardium boundaries of the left ...

Automatic segmentation of the left ventricle cavity and myocardium in MRI data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A novel approach for the automatic segmentation has been developed to extract the epi-cardium and endo-cardium boundaries of the left ventricle (lv) of the heart. The developed segmentation scheme takes multi-slice and multi-phase magnetic resonance (MR)
