Finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are generally
insufficient independently to model the physics of the cardiovascular system. Individually …

This paper provides a review of engineering applications and computational methods used
to analyze the dynamics of heart valve closures in healthy and diseased states …

Background: Fluid structure interaction simulations h hold promise in studying normal and
abnormal cardiac function, including the effect of fluid dynamics on mitral valve (MV) leaflet …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is a nonlinear multiphysics phenomenon that describes the
interactions between incompressible fluid flows and immersed structures, making it …

Valvular heart conditions significantly contribute to the occurrence of cardiovascular
disease, affecting around 2–3 million people in the United States. The anatomical …

This study delves into the most recent advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
and fluid–structure interaction (FSI) modeling applied to cardiovascular engineering. The …

Strut chordae, on their own, are not typically thought to aid mitral valve competence. The aim
of this study is to assess whether strut chordae aid mitral valve competence during acute …
