Blood flow produces mechanical frictional forces, parallel to the blood flow exerted on the
endothelial wall of the vessel, the so-called wall shear stress (WSS). WSS sensing is …

A review of cardiovascular clinical and research applications of MRI phase-contrast velocity
imaging, also known as velocity mapping or flow imaging. Phase-contrast basic principles …

Exercise provides numerous salutary effects, but our understanding of how these occur is
limited. To gain a clearer picture of exercise-induced metabolic responses, we have …

We present a global, closed‐loop, multiscale mathematical model for the human circulation
including the arterial system, the venous system, the heart, the pulmonary circulation and the …

Background—We previously demonstrated that power loss (PL) through the total
cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) in single-ventricle patients undergoing Fontan can be …

Congenital heart defects with a single functional ventricle, such as hypoplastic left heart
syndrome and tricuspid atresia, require a staged surgical approach to separate the systemic …

Although blood-contacting medical devices are used widely, blood clot formation
(thrombosis) leads to device failure and potentially catastrophic adverse thrombotic events …

It is well known that blood exhibits non-Newtonian viscosity, but it is generally modeled as a
Newtonian fluid. However, in situations of low shear rate, the validity of the Newtonian …

Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world.
Complex hemodynamics plays a critical role in the development of aortic dissection and …

In recent years, several works have addressed the problem of modeling blood flow
phenomena in veins, as a response to increasing interest in modeling pathological …
