This paper provides a review of engineering applications and computational methods used
to analyze the dynamics of heart valve closures in healthy and diseased states …

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 …

The aortic valve is a highly dynamic structure characterized by a transvalvular flow that is
unsteady, pulsatile, and characterized by episodes of forward and reverse flow patterns …

Coexisting hypertension and aortic stenosis are common. Some studies showed that
elevated blood pressures may be associated with progression of calcific aortic valve disease …

The loss of high molecular weight multimers (HMWM) of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in
aortic stenosis (AS) and continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (cf-LVADs) is believed …

Accurate imaging reports of the aortic valve indicate that the diameter of the aortic annulus
changes regularly during a cardiac cycle. Most of these studies aim to demonstrate the …

Micrometer-sized particles are widely introduced as fluid flow markers in experimental
studies of convective flows. The tracks of such particles demonstrate a high contrast in the …

Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-based decision improves the outcomes of percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) for some patients, while its effectiveness in improving the results …

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a common heart valve disease in the elderly population, and its
pathogenesis remains an interesting area of research. The degeneration of the aortic valve …

Background As transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures become more
widely available, there is a growing need to monitor and evaluate postoperative outcomes …
