Transient Study of Flow and Cavitation Inside a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
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 ...

Machine learning based on computational fluid dynamics enables geometric design optimisation of the NeoVAD blades

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The NeoVAD is a proposed paediatric axial-flow Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD), small enough to be implanted in infants. The design of the impeller and diffuser blades is important for hydrodynamic performance and haemocompatibility of the pump ...

Identification of weakly coupled multiphysics problems. Application to the inverse problem of electrocardiography [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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 ...

Statistical Characteristics of Flow Field through Open and Semi-Closed Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve

open access: yesSciMedicine Journal, 2020
The formation of thrombi on the streamlined surface of the bileaflet mechanical heart valves is one of the main disadvantages of such valves. Thrombi block the valve leaflets and disrupt the cardiovascular system. Diagnosis of thrombosis of the bileaflet

Quantitative Evaluation of Cardiac Cell Interactions and Responses to Cyclic Strain

open access: yesCells, 2021
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.
