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.
