In this work, we performed a computational image-based study of blood dynamics in the
whole left heart, both in a healthy subject and in a patient with mitral valve regurgitation. We …

Cardiac disease and clinical intervention may both lead to an increased risk for thrombosis
events due to a modified blood flow in the heart, and thereby a change in the mechanical …

Purpose In this work we performed an imaged-based computational study of the systolic
fluid dynamics in presence of mitral valve regurgitation (MVR). In particular, we compared …

We construct an idealized computational model of the left human heart for the study of the
blood flow dynamics in the left atrium and ventricle. We solve the Navier‐Stokes equations …

This paper aims at studying the effects of the heart rate (HR) on the intraventricular
hemodynamics and mitral valve dynamics for a healthy left ventricle of the human heart. The …

The Mitral valve of the human heart has a great relevance for numerous cardiac pathologies;
however, the knowledge of relationships between valvular properties and cardiac function is …

A combined computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
methodology has been developed to simulate blood flow in a subject-specific left heart. The …

In this paper, we study the blood flow dynamics in a three-dimensional (3D) idealized left
ventricle of the human heart whose deformation is driven by muscle contraction and …

The fluid dynamics inside the left ventricle of the human heart is considered a potential
indicator of long term cardiovascular outcome. In this respect, numerical simulations can …

A numerical framework designed to compute the blood flow in patient-specific human hearts
is presented. The geometry of the heart cavities and associated wall motion are extracted …
