Image-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has become a new capability for
determining wall stresses of pulsatile flows. However, a computational platform that directly …

Cardiovascular simulations have great potential as a clinical tool for planning and
evaluating patient-specific treatment strategies for those suffering from congenital heart …

Objective: Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) is regarded as a fundamental index to assess
pulmonary artery stenosis. The application of FFR can increase the accuracy of detection of …

We describe a three-dimensional (3-D) fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulation study of
the aortic valve, where the flow is driven by a specified transient pressure drop along the …

In this work, we consider 2 kinds of model reduction techniques to simulate blood flow
through the largest systemic arteries, where a stenosis is located in a peripheral artery, ie, in …

This paper proposes to apply the convolution integral method to the novel second-order
reliability method (SORM) to further improve its computational efficiency. The novel SORM …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary artery
pressures (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Optimizing treatment strategies …

Background First-stage palliation of neonates with single-ventricle physiology is associated
with poor outcomes and challenging clinical management. Prior computational modeling …

Computing the solution of linear systems of equations is invariably the most time consuming
task in the numerical solutions of PDEs in many fields of computational science. In this study …

The role played by the right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has long been underestimated in
clinical practice. Recent findings are progressively confirming that when the RV efficiency …
