Fluid–structure interaction modelling of a positive-displacement Total Artificial Heart
For those suffering from end-stage biventricular heart failure, and where a heart transplantation is not a viable option, a Total Artificial Heart (TAH) can be used as a bridge to transplant device.

In the adult heart, acute adaptation of electrical and mechanical activity to changes in mechanical load occurs via feedback processes known as “mechano-electric coupling” and “mechano-mechanical coupling.” Whether this occurs during cardiac development ...

Mechanical Ventilation. Total Eclipse of the Heart (Editorial)
Results from recent large randomized trials investigating the use of high PEEP in patients without ARDS all suggest that high levels may increase mortality due to hypotension and bradycardia.

Transient Study of Flow and Cavitation Inside a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve
A mechanical heart valve (MHV) is an effective device to cure heart disease, which has the advantage of long life and high reliability. Due to the hemodynamic characteristics of blood, mechanical heart valves can lead to potential complications such as ...

Identification of weakly coupled multiphysics problems. Application to the inverse problem of electrocardiography [PDF]
This work addresses the inverse problem of electrocardiography from a new perspective, by combining electrical and mechanical measurements. Our strategy relies on the defini-tion of a model of the electromechanical contraction which is registered on ECG ...

Quantitative Evaluation of Cardiac Cell Interactions and Responses to Cyclic Strain
The heart has a dynamic mechanical environment contributed by its unique cellular composition and the resultant complex tissue structure. In pathological heart tissue, both the mechanics and cell composition can change and influence each other.
