With heart and cardiovascular diseases continually challenging healthcare systems
worldwide, translating basic research on cardiac (patho) physiology into clinical care is …

The heart pumps blood to maintain circulation and ensure the delivery of oxygenated blood
to all the organs of the body. Mechanics play a critical role in governing and regulating heart …

Acellular epicardial patches that treat myocardial infarction by increasing the mechanical
integrity of damaged left ventricular tissues exhibit widely scattered therapeutic efficacy …

Ventricular wall stress is believed to be responsible for many physical mechanisms taking
place in the human heart, including ventricular remodeling, which is frequently associated …

The majority of patients with clinically diagnosed heart failure have normal systolic pump
function and are commonly categorized as suffering from diastolic heart failure. The left …

Purpose The aim of this study was to implement and optimize a novel application of diffusion‐
prepared balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) to perform in vivo cardiac diffusion …

The mechanical properties of human soft tissue are crucial for impact biomechanics,
rehabilitation engineering, and surgical simulation. Validation of these constitutive models …

A central problem in biomechanical studies of personalized human left ventricular (LV)
modelling is to estimate material properties from in vivo clinical measurements. In this work …

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular remodeling after posterobasal myocardial infarction can
lead to ischemic mitral regurgitation. This occurs as a consequence of leaflet tethering due …

OBJECTIVES: Various approaches to myocardial reconstruction have been developed for
the treatment of congestive heart failure resulting from ischemic cardiomyopathy …
