Changes in Cardiopulmonary Capacity Parameters after Surgery: A Pilot Study Exploring the Link between Heart Function and Knee Surgery

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: A knee injury in an athlete leads to periods of forced exercise interruption. Myocardial work (MW) assessed by echocardiographic and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) are two essential methods for evaluating athletes during the period ...

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Right ventricular global work efficiency: A reliable non‐invasive estimate of right ventricular contractility

ESC Heart Failure
Background Right ventricular (RV) myocardial work (RVMW) recently emerged as a non‐invasive alternative for the assessment of RV contractility. However, none of the prior studies assessed its variations under different haemodynamic conditions.
