We have derived a mathematical model describing aortic valve dynamics and blood flow
during systole. The model presents a realistic coupling between aortic valve dynamics, sinus …

A lumped parameter model of the sub-system of left ventricle, aortic valve, systemic arteries,
systemic capillaries and systemic veins was considered during systole. A model of aortic …

This paper describes an extension of the Windkessel model of circulatory system dynamics,
which takes into account the opening action of the mitral and aortic valves, including stenotic …

Comparative study among aortic valves requires the use of an unbiased and relevant
boundary condition. Pressure and flow boundary conditions used in literature are not …

The aortic valve is one of the four valves controlling the fluid motion through the heart. It is
positioned at the outlet of the left ventricle, which pumps blood into the aorta. This valve is …

During diastole, coronary perfusion depends on the pressure drop between the myocardial
tissue and the coronary origin located at the aortic root. This pressure difference is …

Aortic stenosis (AS) disease is a narrowing of the aortic valve (AV) opening which reduces
blood flow from the heart causing several health complications. Although a lot of work has …

In this paper, a novel heart valve model with parameters selections enabling to illustrate
some physiological patterns such as healthy, aortic stenosis, and regurgitation has been …

The aortic sinus vortex is a classical flow structure of significant importance to aortic valve
dynamics and the initiation and progression of calcific aortic valve disease. We characterize …

In this work, we consider the blood fluid-dynamics in the ascending aorta in presence of a
normally functioning bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). In particular, we perform an unsteady finite …
