Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and rapid
electrical activity in the atria, leading to ineffective contraction and poor blood flow. More …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) underlies almost one third of all ischaemic strokes, with the left atrial
appendage (LAA) identified as the primary thromboembolic source. Current stroke risk …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries out a 5-fold increase in stroke risk, related to embolization of
thrombi clotting in left atrium (LA). Left atrial appendage (LAA) is the site with the highest …

During Atrial Fibrillation (AF) more than 90% of the left atrial thrombi responsible for
thromboembolic events originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA), a complex small sac …

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 …
