Cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) has undergone rapid maturation over the last
decade and is now of proven clinical utility in the diagnosis and management of coronary …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) underlies almost one third of all ischaemic strokes, with the left atrial
appendage (LAA) identified as the primary thromboembolic source. Current stroke risk …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters left atrial (LA) hemodynamics, which can lead to thrombosis in
the left atrial appendage (LAA), systemic embolism and stroke. A personalized risk …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries out a 5-fold increase in stroke risk, related to embolization of
thrombi clotting in left atrium (LA). Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the site with the highest …

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 …

Background Recently, advances in medical imaging, segmentation techniques, and high-
performance computing have supported the use of patient-specific computational fluid …

According to clinical studies, around one third of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) will suffer
a stroke during their lifetime. Between 70 and 90% of these strokes are caused by thrombus …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common human arrhythmia and it is considered
a marker of an increased risk of embolic stroke. It is known that 99% of AF-related thrombi …

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 …

Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to arise from thrombus
formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Assessing the hemodynamics in LAA and left …
