Blood motion in the heart features vortices that accompany the redirection of jet flows
towards the outlet tracks. Vortices have a crucial role in fluid dynamics. The stability of …

The myofiber geometry of the left ventricle (LV) changes gradually from a right-handed helix
in the subendocardium to a left-handed helix in the subepicardium. In this review, we …

Mathematical models of the human heart are evolving to become a cornerstone of precision
medicine and support clinical decision making by providing a powerful tool to understand …

A bidomain reaction-diffusion model of the human heart was developed, and potentials
resulting from normal depolarization and repolarization were compared with results from a …

The keynote to understanding cardiac function is recognizing the underlying architecture
responsible for the contractile mechanisms that produce the narrowing, shortening …

Purpose Myocardial microstructure has been challenging to probe in vivo. Spin echo–based
diffusion‐weighted sequences allow for single‐shot acquisitions but are highly sensitive to …

In this work, we present a fully coupled fluid‐electro‐mechanical model of a 50th percentile
human heart. The model is implemented on Alya, the BSC multi‐physics parallel code …

Background—Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) provides a means for
nondestructive characterization of myocardial architecture. We used DT-MRI to investigate …

The aim of this study was to implement a quantitative in vivo cardiac diffusion tensor imaging
(DTI) technique that was robust, reproducible, and feasible to perform in patients with …

Cardiac dynamics are traditionally linked to a left ventricle, right ventricle, and septum
morphology, a topography that differs from the heart's five-century-old anatomic description …
