Fluid–structure interaction modelling of a positive-displacement Total Artificial Heart

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
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.

The in vivo study of cardiac mechano-electric and mechano-mechanical coupling during heart development in zebrafish

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
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 ...

A rare case series of mechanical prosthetic heart valve structural deterioration presented as severe mitral regurgitation

open access: yesHeart Vessels and Transplantation, 2023
Objective: Structural valve deterioration in the form of stenosis or regurgitation or both though being a rare complication with newer generation mechanical heart valves can occur and can be critical.

Mechanical Ventilation. Total Eclipse of the Heart (Editorial)

open access: yesОбщая реаниматология, 2021
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

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 ...

Polymeric Heart Valves Will Displace Mechanical and Tissue Heart Valves: A New Era for the Medical Devices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
The development of a novel artificial heart valve with outstanding durability and safety has remained a challenge since the first mechanical heart valve entered the market 65 years ago.

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 ...

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.
