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 …

Background Extracting phenotype-representative flow patterns and their associated
numerical metrics is a bottleneck in the clinical translation of advanced cardiac flow imaging …

Background Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a common complication of dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM), causing morbidity and mortality. Methods This study retrospectively …

Background Cardioembolic stroke is a major source of mortality and disability worldwide.
The authors hypothesized that quantitative characterization of intracardiac blood stasis may …

Cardioembolic stroke is one of the most devastating complications of nonischemic dilated
cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). However, in clinical trials of primary prevention, the benefits of …

The success of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is hampered by complications
such as thrombosis and bleeding. Understanding blood flow interactions between the heart …

Four-dimensional flow cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference technique for
analyzing blood transport in the left ventricle (LV), but similar information can be obtained …

Methods: In this prospective study, 82 cardiac patients underwent TTE procedure in order to
assess the presence of left ventricular thrombus (LVT) from January 1 st to December 31st …

Background: Extracting explainable flow metrics is a bottleneck to the clinical translation of
advanced cardiac flow imaging modalities. We hypothesized that reduced-order models …

Background In the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), imaging-
based biomarkers could be useful for guiding oral anticoagulation for primary prevention of …
