Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia characterized by irregular and rapid
electrical activity in the atria, leading to ineffective contraction and poor blood flow. More …

Stroke is a leading cause of death worldwide. With escalating healthcare costs, early non-
invasive stroke risk stratification is vital. The current paradigm of stroke risk assessment and …

Background Recently, advances in medical imaging, segmentation techniques, and high-
performance computing have supported the use of patient-specific computational fluid …

We analyse the haemodynamics of the left atrium, highlighting differences between healthy
individuals and patients affected by atrial fibrillation. The computational study is based on …

Patient-specific computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can provide invaluable
insight into the interaction of left atrial appendage (LAA) morphology, hemodynamics, and …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is nowadays the most common human arrhythmia and it is considered
a marker of an increased risk of embolic stroke. It is known that 99% of AF-related thrombi …

The lack of mechanically effective contraction of the left atrium (LA) during atrial fibrillation
(AF) disturbs blood flow, increasing the risk of thrombosis and ischemic stroke. Thrombosis …

Disruptions to left atrial (LA) blood flow, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), can
lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and an increased risk of systemic …

Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered the most common human arrhythmia. In
nonvalvular AF, around 99% of thrombi are formed in the left atrial appendage (LAA) …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common human arrhythmia, forming thrombi mostly in the
left atrial appendage (LAA). However, the relation between LAA morphology, blood patterns …
