Endothelial cells transduce the frictional force from blood flow (fluid shear stress) into
biochemical signals that regulate gene expression and cell behavior via specialized …

Low and oscillatory wall shear stress is widely assumed to play a key role in the initiation
and development of atherosclerosis. Indeed, some studies have relied on the low shear …

Aims Atherosclerotic plaque development has been associated with wall shear stress
(WSS). However, the multidirectionality of blood flow, and thus of WSS, is rarely taken into …

The emergence of new cardiac diagnostics and therapeutics of the heart has given rise to
the challenging field of virtual design and testing of technologies in a patient-specific …

Background. Despite recent clinical and technological advancements, the vascular access
(VA) for haemodialysis still has significant early failure rates after arteriovenous fistula (AVF) …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of blood flow in human coronary artery is one of
the emerging fields of Biomed-ical engineering. In present review paper, Finite Volume …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cardiovascular disease. Early diagnosis
of CAD's physiological significance is of utmost importance for guiding individualized risk …

Wall shear stress (WSS) is one of the most studied hemodynamic parameters, used in
correlating blood flow to various diseases. The pulsatile nature of blood flow, along with the …

Hemodynamic factors, induced by pulsatile blood flow, play a crucial role in vascular health
and diseases, such as the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Computational fluid …

Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques causing thrombosis is the main cause of acute coronary
syndrome and ischemic strokes. Inhibition of thrombosis is one of the important tasks …
