Large arteries in the human body, such as the aorta, are susceptible to atherosclerosis, and
aortic hemodynamic analysis has been widely used to predict cardiovascular disease. In this …

Perturbed aorta hemodynamics, as for the carotid and the coronary artery, has been
identified as potential predicting factor for cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we propose …

The human aorta is often affected by many cardiovascular diseases, including
atherosclerosis, aneurysm and dissection. There is considerable evidence suggesting that …

Aortic tortuosity has been recognized as a significant predictor of aortic events and adverse
consequences of endovascular procedure in many aortopathies. However, the traditional 3D …

Atherosclerosis is still the leading cause of death in the developed world. Although its
initiation and progression is a complex multifactorial process, it is well known that blood flow …

Objective Tortuosity comes with higher displacement forces in the aorta. As the descending
thoracic aorta (DTA) is becoming longer and more tortuous with age, it is important to …

The effects of curvature and tapering on the flow progression in the aorta were studied using
numerical simulations on a realistic geometrical model of the aorta and three different …

Objective As elastin fibres in the aorta deteriorate with age, the descending thoracic aorta
(DTA) becomes longer and more tortuous. In patients with DTA aneurysms, this increased …

OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and aneurysm, are closely
associated with haemodynamic factors that are governed by luminal geometry. The present …

The aims of this study were (1) to demonstrate the feasibility of computational fluid dynamic
(CFD) modelling of realistic blood flow in the mouse aortic arch, and (2) to determine the …
