Incorporating Torsion Into 3D Geometric Reconstruction of Left‐Ventricle From 2D Echocardiography and Its Impact on Hemodynamics

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 10, October 2026.
Torsion is incorporated into our 3D reconstruction method from 2D echocardiography for flow simulations. The simulations are validated against our measurements. With the inclusion of torsion in reconstruction, the bulk parameters remain the same but time‐averaged wall shear stress increases or decreases during systole or diastole, respectively, while ...
