Atherosclerosis is one of the main causes of cardiovascular events, namely, myocardium
infarction and cerebral stroke, responsible for a great number of deaths every year …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis
of CAD's physiological significance is of utmost importance for guiding individualized risk …

Carotid atherosclerosis is one of the main cardiovascular diseases, widely considered as
the main reason for death. Atherosclerosis forms a plaque that impedes blood vessels, and if …

Abstract Background and Objective: The main objective of the work is to examine the
curvature effects of stenosis/dilatation region pertaining to left coronary artery. The …

We present a careful evaluation of non-Newtonian blood rheology effects in arterial flow
simulations. We achieve that by comparing the converged solutions obtained a) from a …

This book discusses geometric and mathematical models that can be used to study fluid and
structural mechanics in the cardiovascular system. Where traditional research …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and its incidence
is rising due to an aging population. The development and progression of CVD is directly …

The present work is about the application of wall shear stress descriptors–time averaged
wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillating shear index (OSI) and relative residence time (RRT) …

The aim of this study is to elucidate the correlation between coronary artery branch
angulation, local mechanical and haemodynamic forces at the vicinity of bifurcation. Using a …

New imaging methods have enabled the detection of unruptured abdominal aortic
aneurysms (AAA). It is necessary to develop appropriate mathematical models for rupture …
