Brachial artery waveforms for automatic blood pressure measurement

Theoretically the auscultatory method using Korotkoff sounds is more related to the maximum artery closure status, while the oscillometric method is more related to the overall artery closure status under the cuff. Therefore, the latter is less accurate th ...

Boundary control and shape optimization for the robust design of bypass anastomoses under uncertainty

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni, Toni Mikael Lassila

We review the optimal design of an arterial bypass graft following either a (i) boundary optimal control approach, or a (ii) shape optimization formulation. The main focus is quantifying and treating the uncertainty in the residual flow when the hosting ar ...

Modeling Atrial Pacing

We present a model-based study of therapeutical approaches to atrial fibrillation with a focus on pacing. After a systematic evaluation of different atrial pacing sites, we selected pacing from the septum area and designed a novel septum pacing protocol fo ...

Time course of flow-induced adaptation of carotid artery biomechanical properties, structure and zero-stress state in the arteriovenous shunt

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos

Numerous studies have provided evidence of diameter adaptation secondary to flow-overload. but with ambiguous findings vis a vis other morphological parameters and information on the biomechanical aspects of arterial adaptation is rather incomplete. We exa ...

Shape optimization for viscous flows by reduced basis methods and free-form deformation

Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza, Andrea Manzoni

In this paper we further develop an approach previously introduced in [Lassila and Rozza, C.M.A.M.E 2010] for shape optimization that combines a suitable low-dimensional parametrization of the geometry (yielding a geometrical reduction) with reduced basis ...

Characterizing the impact of minor cannula design modification

Julien Favre, Ludwig Von Segesser

Objective: Bench evaluation of the hydrodynamic behavior of venous cannulas is a valuable technique for the analysis of their performance during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the internal diameter of t ...

Ventricle Equilibrium Position in Healthy and Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Brains Using an Analytical Model

Jean-Marie Drezet, Bryn Andrew Martin, Kamal Shahim

The driving force that causes enlargement of the ventricles remains unclear in case of normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Both healthy and NPH brain conditions are characterized by a low transparenchymal pressure drop, typically 1 mm Hg. The present pape ...

Endothelial deletion of murine Jag1 leads to valve calcification and congenital heart defects associated with Alagille syndrome

Freddy Radtke

The Notch signaling pathway is an important contributor to the development and homeostasis of the cardiovascular system. Not surprisingly, mutations in Notch receptors and ligands have been linked to a variety of hereditary diseases that impact both the he ...

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 ...

Atrial septal pacing for the termination of atrial fibrillation: study in a biophysical model of human atria

Jean-Marc Vesin, Laurent Renaud Uldry, Lukas Kappenberger

Aims While successful termination by pacing of organized atrial tachycardias has been observed in patients, single site rapid pacing has not yet led to conclusive results for the termination of atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to eva ...
