Atrial fibrillation (AF) alters left atrial (LA) hemodynamics, which can lead to thrombosis in
the left atrial appendage (LAA), systemic embolism and stroke. A personalized risk …

This paper gives a review of the most important methods for blood velocity vector flow
imaging (VFI) for conventional sequential data acquisition. This includes multibeam …

We analyse the haemodynamics of the left atrium, highlighting differences between healthy
individuals and patients affected by atrial fibrillation. The computational study is based on …

Disruptions to left atrial (LA) blood flow, such as those caused by atrial fibrillation (AF), can
lead to thrombosis in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and an increased risk of systemic …

The lack of mechanically effective contraction of the left atrium (LA) during atrial fibrillation
(AF) disturbs blood flow, increasing the risk of thrombosis and ischemic stroke. Thrombosis …

TAVR has emerged as a standard approach for treating severe aortic stenosis patients.
However, it is associated with several clinical complications, including subclinical leaflet …

Flow stagnation and residence time (RT) are important features of diseased arterial flows
that influence biochemical transport processes and thrombosis. RT calculation methods are …

Intraventricular vector flow map** (VFM) is an increasingly adopted echocardiographic
technique that derives time-resolved two-dimensional flow maps in the left ventricle (LV) …

Introduction and objectives In the setting of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
(STEMI), imaging-based biomarkers could be useful for guiding oral anticoagulation to …

This work intends to study the effect of aortic annulus eccentricity and leaflet rigidity on the
performance, thrombogenic risk and calcification risk in bioprosthetic aortic valve …
