Motivated by the growing wealth of biological data and the increasing pathophysiological knowledge at different scales, spectacular progress have been made in comprehensive modeling to understand the complex nature of biological organs, such as the heart. ...
Atrial arrhythmias are the most frequent rhythm disorders in humans and often lead to severe complications such as heart failure and stroke. While different mapping techniques have provided significant information on the electrophysiological processes asso ...
We propose a new global registration method for estimating the cardiac displacement field in 2D sequences of ultrasound images of the heart. The basic idea is to select a reference frame (e.g., the first image of a cycle) and to map each image in the seque ...
The aim of this work is to provide mathematically sound and computationally effective tools for the numerical simulation of the interaction between fluid and structures as occurring, for instance, in the simulation of the human cardiovascular system. This ...
We have examined the role of the nonlinear elastic properties of the arterial wall on the human aortic input impedance obtained at different heart rates and different pressure and flow wave shapes. Pressure and flow were taken from a computer model that pr ...
In this thesis we study ventricular-arterial coupling in rodents under the influence of arterial stiffening and myocardial infarction (MI), combination of the two considered as a novel cardiovascular research model for diseased hearts pumping against an ag ...
Cannula design is of prime importance for venous drainage during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). To evaluate cannulas intended for CPB, an in vitro circuit was set up with silicone tubing between the test cannula encased in a movable preload reservoir and an ...
GLUT8 is a glucose transporter isoform expressed at high levels in testis; at intermediate levels in the brain, including the hippocampus; and at lower levels in the heart and several other tissues. GLUT8 is located in an intracellular compartment and does ...
Numerical simulations of the transient operation of an islanded power network subject to load rejections are performed. The islanded power network case study consists of a 1-GW hydroelectric power plant featuring four generating units, a long penstock, and ...
In this work we present a mathematical model for the coupling of cardiovascular system and metabolism under sport efforts. Effects such as oxygenation, heart rates, flow rates, blood pressure and mass transfer to tissues will be considered. A special atten ...
