The proliferation of four-dimensional imaging technologies, increasing computational
speeds, improved simulation algorithms, and the widespread availability of powerful …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death today, incorporates a wide range
of cardiovascular system malfunctions that affect heart functionality. It is believed that the …

Mathematical modeling of the human heart and its function can expand our understanding of
various cardiac diseases, which remain the most common cause of death in the developed …

Objective The aim of this study was to measure the flux of amyloid‐β (Aβ) across the human
cerebral capillary bed to determine whether transport into the blood is a significant …

The emergence of new cardiac diagnostics and therapeutics of the heart has given rise to
the challenging field of virtual design and testing of technologies in a patient-specific …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an important tool for the simulation of the
cardiovascular function and dysfunction. Due to the complexity of the anatomy, the …

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 …

The lack of mechanically effective contraction of the left atrium (LA) during atrial fibrillation
(AF) disturbs blood flow, increasing the risk of thrombosis and ischemic stroke. Thrombosis …
