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) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and rapid
electrical activity in the atria, leading to ineffective contraction and poor blood flow. More …

In this paper, we investigate the haemodynamics of a left atrium (LA) by proposing a
computational model suitable to provide physically meaningful fluid dynamics indications …

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

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 …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia, forming thrombi mostly in the
left atrial appendage (LAA). However, the relation between LAA morphology, blood patterns …

Background Left atrial (LA) conduction velocity (CV) is an electrical remodeling parameter of
atrial fibrillation (AF) substrate. However, the pathophysiological substrate of LA-CV and its …

The left atrium (LA) functions to transport oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins (PVs)
to the left ventricle (LV). LA hemodynamics has received much attention because thrombosis …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) diminishes left atrial (LA) mechanical function and impairs blood flow.
The latter can lead to blood stasis and increased risk of thrombus formation and stroke. We …
