Cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, are the leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women. Current therapies are limited by the restricted intrinsic regeneration capacity of the heart and by the lack of organs for transplant ...
The mechanical interactions between heart contraction and perfusion of the heart are difficult to study in humans because of the restrictions in inducing changes in hemodynamic and cardiac mechanics parameters during catheterization. We hypothesize that th ...
The vitamin D(3) and nicotine (VDN) model is a model of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) due to arterial calcification raising arterial stiffness and vascular impedance similar to an aged and stiffened arterial tree. We therefore analyzed the impact of ...
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. ...
In this Master thesis we aim at studying some physiological and computational aspects of the excitation-contraction mechanisms in the heart muscle. This phenomenon exhibits many complexities at different spatio-temporal scales. The relevance and applicabil ...
In the developing heart, a subset of endothelial cells (ECs) undergo a process of endothelial to mesenchymal transformation (EMT) that leads to the remodeling of the cardiac cushions and the formation of the cardiac valves. Understanding how microenvironme ...
The aim of this study was to test the sustained release of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) using an injectable supramolecular hydrogel based on ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) moieties in order to recruit and activate endo ...
Background and Purpose—Despite the improving imaging techniques, it remains challenging to predict the outcome early after transient cerebral ischemia. The aim of this study was thus to identify early metabolic biomarkers for outcome prediction. Methods—We ...
Numerical modeling of the human cardiovascular system (CVS) represents an active branch of research which allows the medical specialists to advance in understanding of underlined processes of blood circulation and the heart work at any scale, moreover, it ...
We describe a device made of artificial muscle for the treatment of end-stage heart failure as an alternative to current heart assist devices. The key component is a matrix of nitinol wires and aramidic fibers called Biometal muscle (BM). When heated elect ...
