Efficient approximation of cardiac mechanics through reduced-order modeling with deep learning-based operator approximation

Reducing the computational time required by high-fidelity, full-order models (FOMs) for the solution of problems in cardiac mechanics is crucial to allow the translation of patient-specific simulations into clinical practice. Indeed, while FOMs, such as th ...

Zinc complexation improves angiotensin II receptor type 1 blockade and in vivo antihypertensive activity of telmisartan

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Augusto Martins Lima, Valeria Romina Martinez

Background: Angiotensin II receptor blockers were designed as therapeutic agents to block the binding site of the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1R). Methodology: The structure of telmisartan was modified by coordination to the biometal Zn(II), resultin ...

Hemodynamics of ageing, ventricular-arterial coupling and noninvasive assessment of key hemodynamical and cardiac quantities

Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Ageing is a natural process that affects both the anatomical and functional properties of the cardiovascular system and alters the coupling characteristics between the heart and the aorta. These alterations may predispose the cardiovascular system in the d ...

Complex blood flow patterns in an idealized left ventricle: A numerical study

Alfio Quarteroni, Anna Tagliabue

In this paper, we study the blood flow dynamics in a three-dimensional (3D) idealized left ventricle of the human heart whose deformation is driven by muscle contraction and relaxation in coordination with the action of the mitral and aortic valves. We pro ...

Mild endothelial dysfunction in Sirt3 knockout mice fed a high-cholesterol diet: protective role of a novel C/EBP-β-dependent feedback regulation of SOD2

Johan Auwerx, Julien Weber

Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is an NAD(+)-dependent mitochondrial deacetylase associated with superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2)-mediated protection from oxidative stress. We have reported accelerated weight gain and impaired metabolic flexibility in atherosclerotic Sirt3 ...

Study of the impact of electrical heterogeneities in the right and left atrium on atrial fibrillation perpetuation

Jean-Marc Vesin, Adrian Luca, Vincent Jacquemet

Introduction: Electrical heterogeneity in the atria has been consistently linked with the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present model-based study investigated the contribution of action potential duration (APD) heterogeneitie ...

Fluid-structure interaction simulations of cerebral arteries modeled by isotropic and anisotropic constitutive laws

Alfio Quarteroni, Simone Deparis, Luca Dede', Paolo Tricerri, Adélia Sequeira

This paper considers numerical simulations of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems in hemodynamics for idealized geometries of healthy cerebral arteries modeled by both nonlinear isotropic and anisotropic material constitutive laws. In particular, it ...

Improved temporal resolution for functional studies with reduced number of segments with three-dimensional echo planar imaging

Rolf Gruetter, Tobias Kober, Wietske Van der Zwaag, José Pedro Rebelo Ferreira Marques, Mayur Narsude

PURPOSE: To introduce a new k-space traversal strategy for segmented three-dimensional echo planar imaging (3D EPI) that encodes two partitions per radiofrequency excitation, effectively reducing the number excitations used to acquire a 3D EPI dataset by h ...

Patient-specific generation of the Purkinje network driven by clinical measurements of a normal propagation

Fabio Nobile, Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

The propagation of the electrical signal in the Purkinje network is the starting point for the activation of the ventricular muscular cells leading to the contraction of the ventricle. In the computational models, describing the electrical activity of the ...

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 ...
