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 …

The biophysics of blood flow can dictate the function of molecules and cells in the
vasculature with consequent effects on hemostasis, thrombosis, embolism, and fibrinolysis …

In this study, the effect of the shape of the stenosis on the flow transition in an artery is
investigated. Different shapes of the stenosis including round, oval, elongated, half-moon …

The present work is about the application of wall shear stress descriptors–time averaged
wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillating shear index (OSI) and relative residence time (RRT) …

Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the gold standard to assess the functional coronary
stenosis. The non-invasive assessment of diameter stenosis (DS) using coronary computed …

A fast computational framework is devised to the study of several configurations of patient-
specific coronary artery bypass grafts. This is especially useful to perform a sensitivity …

The turbulence in the blood flow, caused by plaque deposition on the arterial wall, increases
by the combined effect of the complex plaque geometries and the pulsatile blood flow. The …

Atherosclerosis is a common cardiovascular disease found in the left coronary artery (LCA),
closely linked to local hemodynamic, which, in turn, is highly influenced by the artery …

Background Invasively measured fractional flow reserve (FFR) and index of microcirculatory
resistance (IMR) are gold standards for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) and …

The objective of this paper is to apply computational fluid dynamic (CFD) as a
complementary tool for clinical tests to not only predict the present and future status of left …
