Effects of Isoflurane Anesthesia on Aortic Compliance and Systemic Hemodynamics in Compliant and Noncompliant Aortas

Objectives: To investigate the effect of general anesthesia on aortic compliance and other cardiovascular hemodynamics in chronically instrumented pigs with compliant and noncompliant (stiff) aortas. Design: Experimental study. Setting: University animal l ...

Systolic Hypertension Mechanisms: Effect of Global and Local Proximal Aorta Stiffening on Pulse Pressure

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Philippe Reymond, Nico Westerhof

Decrease in arterial compliance leads to an increased pulse pressure, as explained by the Windkessel effect. Pressure waveform is the sum of a forward running and a backward running or reflected pressure wave. When the arterial system stiffens, as a result ...

On the Estimation of Total Arterial Compliance from Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis

Total arterial compliance (C (T)) is a main determinant of cardiac afterload, left ventricular function and arterio-ventricular coupling. C (T) is physiologically more relevant than regional aortic stiffness. However, direct, in vivo, non-invasive, measure ...

Efficient Solution of Fluid-Structure Interaction Problems in Computational Hemodynamics

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Paolo Crosetto

Cardiovascular diseases are the first cause of death in industrialized countries. It is now widely established that blood fluid dynamics and its interaction with the vascular wall play an essential role in the development and evolution of vascular patholog ...

RC time constant of single lung equals that of both lungs together: a study in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Nico Westerhof

The product of resistance, R, and compliance, C (RC time), of the entire pulmonary circulation is constant. It is unknown if this constancy holds for individual lungs. We determined R and C in individual lungs in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertensi ...

Validation of a one-dimensional model of the systemic arterial tree

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Fabrice Merenda, Philippe Reymond

A distributed model of the human arterial tree including all main systemic arteries coupled to a heart model is developed. The one-dimensional (1-D) form of the momentum and continuity equations is solved numerically to obtain pressures and flows throughou ...

A structure-based model of arterial remodeling in response to sustained hypertension

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Alkiviadis Tsamis, Alexander Rachev

A novel structure-based mathematical model of arterial remodeling in response to a sustained increase in pressure is proposed. The model includes two major aspects of remodeling in a healthy matured vessel. First, the deviation of the wall stress and flow- ...
