Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the
western world. In the last three decades, fluid dynamics investigations have been an …

Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques causing thrombosis is the main cause of acute coronary
syndrome and ischemic strokes. Inhibition of thrombosis is one of the important tasks …

A considerable body of evidence indicates that elevated resting heart rate is an
independent, modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with …

Abstract The diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Myocardial Infarction (MI) and
carotid atherosclerosis is of paramount importance, as these cardiovascular diseases may …

Tortuous blood vessels are often seen in humans in association with thrombosis,
atherosclerosis, hypertension, and aging. Vessel tortuosity can cause high fluid shear stress …

This study uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model blood flow through idealised
sutured and coupled arterial anastomoses to investigate the affect of each technique on …

This paper aims to explore the construction of an individualized pulmonary artery stenosis
model based on computed tomography (CT) images. The stenosis model is simulated using …

Coronary arteries, which are branched from the sinuses, have tangible effects on the
hemodynamic performance of the bileaflet mechanical heart valve (BMHV), especially in the …

This paper investigates the parametric effects, which include material properties, hook
shape, and shear deformation, on the force/deflection relationship governing the …

It has been extensively demonstrated that an elevated heart rate is a modifiable,
independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. A high heart rate increases myocardial …
