Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging initially focused on heart structures, allowing the
visualization of their motion and inferring its functional status from it. Colour-Doppler and …

Recent advances in imaging techniques have allowed physicians to obtain robust
measurements of intracardiac flows in the clinical setting. Consequently, the physiological …

Background LV diastolic vortex formation has been suggested to critically contribute to
efficient blood pum** function, while altered vortex formation has been associated with LV …

Recent studies suggest that vortex ring formation during left ventricular (LV) rapid filling is an
optimized mechanism for blood transport, and that the volume of the vortex ring is an …

Purpose To evaluate viscous energy loss and the association with three‐dimensional (3D)
vortex ring formation in left ventricular (LV) blood flow during diastolic filling. Theory and …

Objectives To comprehensively and quantitatively analyse flow and vorticity in the right heart
of patients after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) compared with healthy volunteers …

INTRODUCTION: The role of flow on the progression of left ventricular (LV) remodeling has
been presumed, although measurements are still limited and the intraventricular flow pattern …

The presence of vortical flow structures that develop inside different cardiac chambers is
shown to correlate with functional status of heart, and significantly affects the cardiac …

Abnormality in cardiac fluid dynamics is highly correlated with several heart conditions. This
is particularly true in valvular heart diseases and congenital heart defects where changes in …

The flow inside the left ventricle is characterized by the formation of vortices that smoothly
accompany blood from the mitral inlet to the aortic outlet. Computational fluid dynamics …
