Purpose Finite element simulations are an enticing tool to evaluate heart valve function;
however, patient-specific simulations derived from 3D echocardiography are hampered by …

Background Little is known about the impact of transcatheter mitral valve edge‐to‐edge
repair on changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the effect of an acute …

We present formulations and numerical algorithms for solving diffeomorphic shape matching
problems. We formulate shape matching as a variational problem governed by a dynamical …

The geometrical details and biomechanical relationships of the mitral valve–left ventricular
apparatus are very complex and have posed as an area of research interest for decades …

Let D be a dataset of smooth 3D surfaces, partitioned into disjoint classes CL j, j= 1,…, k. We
show how optimized diffeomorphic registration applied to large numbers of pairs (S, S′), S …

Background: The growth of mitral leaflets (MLs) adaptive to left ventricluar (LV) remodeling
has been observed. However, the elasticity of MLs upon mechanical stimuli would be …

Advances in imaging technology have enabled breakthroughs in our understanding of
disease mechanisms and their treatment. The rapid evolution of advanced …

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative computed tomography
in assessing mitral annulus anatomy and the posterior annular plication rate in mitral valve …
