Vascular graphs can embed a number of high-level features, from morphological parameters, to functional biomarkers, and represent an invaluable tool for longitudinal and cross-sectional clinical inference. This, however, is only feasible…
In this paper we evaluate the dynamic effects of the fluid viscosity for fluid filled elastic tubes in the framework of a linear uni-axial theory. Because of the linear approximation, the effects on the fluid inside the elastic tube are…
Zero-dimensional cardiovascular models provide a computationally efficient framework for studying global hemodynamic behavior, yet the influence of model complexity on parameter sensitivity remains insufficiently understood. This work…
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling, a technique widely used to enhance imaging modalities for adult and pediatric heart diseases, has been underutilized in the context of fetal circulation because of limited data on flow conditions…
Coronary angioplasty with stent implantation is the most frequently used interventional treatment for coronary artery disease. However, reocclusion within the stent, referred to as in-stent restenosis, occurs in up to 10% of lesions. It is…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of blood flow in the left ventricle (LV) and aorta are important tools for analyzing the mechanistic links between myocardial deformation and flow patterns. Typically, the use of image-based…
We present a two dimensional model describing the elastic behaviour of the wall of a curved blood vessel. The wall has a laminate structure consisting of several anisotropic layers of varying thickness and is assumed to be much smaller in…
In computational modelling of coronary haemodynamics, imposing patient-specific flow conditions is paramount, yet often impractical due to resource and time constraints, limiting the ability to perform a large number of simulations…
MR vascular Fingerprinting proposes to use the MR Fingerprinting framework to quantitatively and simultaneously map several microvascular characteristics at a sub-voxel scale. The initial implementation assessed the local blood oxygenation…
Does the complex processes of angiogenesis during organism development ultimately lead to a near optimal coronary vasculature in the organs of adult mammals? We examine this hypothesis using a powerful and universal method, built on…
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a valuable asset for patient-specific cardiovascular-disease diagnosis and prognosis, but its high computational demands hamper its adoption in practice. Machine-learning methods that estimate blood…
In this paper we introduce a new mathematical model for the active contraction of cardiac muscle, featuring different thermo-electric and nonlinear conductivity properties. The passive hyperelastic response of the tissue is described by an…
The steady motion and deformation of a lipid-bilayer vesicle translating through a circular tube in low Reynolds number pressure-driven flow are investigated numerically using an axisymmetric boundary element method. This fluid-structure…
We propose an integrated electromechanical model of the human heart, with focus on the left ventricle, wherein biophysically detailed models describe the different physical phenomena concurring to the cardiac function. We model the…
This work presents a biventricular electromechanical human heart model that is comprehensive and clinically relevant, integrating a realistic 3D heart geometry with both systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics. The model uses a two-way…
Many of the intriguing properties of blood originate from its cellular nature. Bulk effects, such as viscosity, depend on the local shear rates and on the size of the vessels. While empirical descriptions of bulk rheology are available for…
Many numerical studies of blood flow impose a rigid wall assumption due to the simplicity of its implementation compared to a full coupling to a solid mechanics model. In this paper, we present a localised method for incorporating the…
Over the past decades, hemodynamics simulators have steadily evolved and have become tools of choice for studying cardiovascular systems in-silico. While such tools are routinely used to simulate whole-body hemodynamics from physiological…
Construction of in vitro vascular models is of great significance to various biomedical research, such as pharmacokinetics and hemodynamics, thus is an important direction in tissue engineering. In this work, a standing surface acoustic…
Numerical simulations of pulsatile blood flow in an aortic coarctation require the use of turbulence modeling. This paper considers three models from the class of large eddy simulation (LES) models (Smagorinsky, Vreman,…
