Helical flow in the human aorta is possibly a typical example of 'form follows function'in the
vascular system. The helical blood flow may provide guaranties for the inner surface of the …

It has long been recognized that the forces and stresses produced by the blood flow on the
walls of the cardiovascular system are central to the development of different cardiovascular …

Here we analyse the influence of assumptions made on boundary conditions (BCs)
extracted from phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) in vivo measured flow …

The main purpose of the study is to verify if helical flow might be a surrogate marker of the
exposure to disturbed shear in normal carotid bifurcations. Based on hemodynamic …

To investigate the effects of both non-Newtonian behavior and the pulsation of blood flow on
the distributions of luminal surface LDL concentration and oxygen flux along the wall of the …

The pulsatile blood flow through human aortic arch and three major branches are
computationally studied to investigate the effect of blood rheology on the hemodynamic …

The purpose of this study is to investigate how the imposition of personalized, non-invasively
measured blood flow rates as boundary conditions (BCs) influences image-based …

One of the relevant phenomenon associated with in-stent restenosis in coronary arteries is
an altered haemodynamics in the stented region. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) offers …

Arterial hemodynamics is markedly characterized by the presence of helical flow patterns.
Previous observations suggest that arterial helical blood flow is of physiological significance …

Purpose To reduce the need for diagnostic catheterization and optimize treatment in a
variety of congenital heart diseases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based …
