Early detection of cardiovascular dysfunctions directly caused by acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
has become paramount. Researchers now generally agree on the existence of a …

Patient-specific cardiac models are now being used to guide therapies. The increased use
of patient-specific cardiac simulations in clinical care will give rise to the development of …

In order to simulate the cardiac function for a patient‐specific geometry, the generation of the
computational mesh is crucially important. In practice, the input is typically a set of …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …
