Background. Despite the routine prescription of rate control therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), clinical evidence demonstrating a heart rate target is lacking. Aim of the present study was to run a mathematical model simulating AF…
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) show significant potential for solving inverse problems, especially when observations are limited and sparse, provided that the relevant physical equations are known. We use PINNs to estimate smooth…
Percutaneous catheter pumps are intraventricular temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices that are positioned across the aortic valve into the left ventricle (LV) and provide continuous antegrade blood flow from the LV into…
Simulation of arterial stenting procedures prior to intervention allows for appropriate device selection as well as highlights potential complications. To this end, we present a framework for facilitating virtual aortic stenting from a…
Physics-based computer models based on numerical solution of the governing equations generally cannot make rapid predictions, which in turn, limits their applications in the clinic. To address this issue, we developed a physics-informed…
