Advances in numerical methods and three-dimensional imaging techniques have enabled
the quantification of cardiovascular mechanics in subject-specific anatomic and physiologic …

The beating heart creates blood pressure and flow pulsations that propagate as waves
through the arterial tree that are reflected at transitions in arterial geometry and elasticity …

Blood velocity and pressure fields in large arteries are greatly influenced by the
deformability of the vessel. Moreover, wave propagation phenomena in the cardiovascular …

The purpose of this study is mainly directed towards present of viewpoints on critical and
commentary analysis on blood rheology, blood viscosity models, and physiological flow …

Aortic stenosis (AS) is an acute and chronic cardiovascular disease and If left untreated,
50% of these patients will die within two years of developing symptoms. AS is characterized …

It is generally believed that knowledge of the wall stress distribution could help to find better
rupture risk predictors of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Although AAA wall stress …

It has long been recognized that the forces and stresses produced by the blood flow on the
walls of the cardiovascular system are central to the development of different cardiovascular …

The hemodynamic and the thrombogenic performance of two commercially available
bileaflet mechanical heart valves (MHVs)—the ATS Open Pivot Valve (ATS) and the St. Jude …

Lumped-parameter models (zero-dimensional) and wave-propagation models (one-
dimensional) for pressure and flow in large vessels, as well as fully three-dimensional fluid …

Patient-specific wall stress simulations on abdominal aortic aneurysms may provide a better
criterion for surgical intervention than the currently used maximum transverse diameter. In …
