Aortic dissection continues to be responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, although
recent advances in medical data assimilation and in experimental and in silico models have …

Age-related changes in aortic biomechanics can impact the brain by reducing blood flow
and increasing pulsatile energy transmission. Clinical studies have shown that impaired …

This study investigates the physics of the longitudinal stretching-based wave pumping
mechanism, a novel extension of the traditional impedance pump. In its simplest form, an …

Objective: The clinical significance of the wave intensity (WI) analysis for the diagnosis and
prognosis of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is well-established. However …

Type B aortic dissection is a life-threatening medical emergency that can result in rupture of
the aorta. Due to the complexity of patient-specific characteristics, only limited information on …

In this work we present a novel methodology for the numerical simulation of patient-specific
aortic dissections. Our proposal, which targets the seamless virtual prototyping of …

Predicting late adverse events in aortic dissections is challenging. One commonly observed
risk factor is partial thrombosis of the false lumen. In this study we investigated false lumen …

Although septal myectomy is the preferred treatment for medication-refractory hypertrophic
obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the procedure remains subjective. A preoperative …

This work introduces a numerical approach and implementation for the direct coupling of
arbitrary complex ordinary differential equation‐(ODE‐) governed zero‐dimensional (0D) …

Radial applanation tonometry is a well-established technique for hemodynamic monitoring
and is becoming popular in affordable non-invasive wearable healthcare electronics. To …
