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 …

Mitral valve disease is the second most frequent valve disease requiring surgery. The aim of
our study was to develop through a computational fluid dynamics a method to study the …

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 …

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 …

Computer-based numerical simulations-also known as in silico simulations-of the heart and
blood circulation represent a valuable tool to analyze the cardiac function and to enhance …

Purpose: The analysis of pathological human left ventricular hemodynamics using high-
resolved image-based blood flow simulations shows a major potential for examining mitral …

Intra-cardiac flow has been explored for decades but there is still no consensus on whether
or not healthy left ventricles (LV) may harbour turbulent-like flow despite its potential …

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 …

Purpose Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valve disease in
industrialized countries. Despite its high prevalence, little is known about its impact on the …
