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

Most strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to arise from thrombus
formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Assessing the hemodynamics in LAA and left …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia, forming thrombi mostly in the
left atrial appendage (LAA). However, the relation between LAA morphology, blood patterns …

Numerical simulations to evaluate thoracic aortic hemodynamics include a computational
fluid dynamic (CFD) approach or fluid-structure interaction (FSI) approach. While CFD …

Clot formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA) poses a high risk of ischemic strokes and
systemic embolism to patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of sustained …

The majority of cardioembolic strokes in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)
are resulted from clot formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Current stroke risk …

Background: 3D printing represents an emerging technology in the field of cardiovascular
medicine. 3D printing can help to perform a better analysis of complex anatomies to optimize …

Background and objectives The left atrial appendage (LAA) is the most common region for
thrombus formation in atrial fibrillation (AF). Morphological parameters such as shape, size …

The importance of experimental setups able to reproduce cardiac functions was well
established in the field of clinical innovations. The mock circulatory loops acquired rising …
