We propose a mathematical and numerical model for the simulation of the heart function that
couples cardiac electrophysiology, active and passive mechanics and hemodynamics, and …

Physics-based computational models of the cardiovascular system are increasingly used to
simulate hemodynamics, tissue mechanics, and physiology in evolving healthy and …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important tool for the simulation of the
cardiovascular function and dysfunction. Due to the complexity of the anatomy, the …

We analyse the haemodynamics of the left atrium, highlighting differences between healthy
individuals and patients affected by atrial fibrillation. The computational study is based on …

We present a new computational model for the numerical simulation of blood flow in the
human left heart. To this aim, we use the Navier-Stokes equations in an Arbitrary Lagrangian …

We introduce a multiphysics and geometric multiscale computational model, suitable to
describe the hemodynamics of the whole human heart, driven by a four-chamber …

Disruptions to left atrial (LA) blood flow, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), can
lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and an increased risk of systemic …

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new mathematical model that simulates myocardial
blood perfusion that accounts for multiscale and multiphysics features. Our model …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to assist in designing artificial valves and
planning procedures, focusing on local flow features. However, assessing the impact on …

Methods We developed computational models of the physical processes encompassed by
the heart function (electrophysiology, electrical activation, force generation, mechanics …
