Pulsatile blood flow through the cavities of the heart and great vessels is time-varying and
multidirectional. Access to all regions, phases and directions of cardiovascular flows has …

An appreciation of the complex and variable anatomy of the tricuspid valve is essential to
unraveling the pathophysiology of tricuspid regurgitation. A greater appreciation of normal …

Identification of flow patterns within the heart has long been recognized as a potential
contribution to the understanding of physiological and pathophysiological processes of …

Computational modelling of whole-heart function is a useful tool to study heart mechanics
and haemodynamics. Many existing heart models focus on electromechanical aspect …

Aims The main aim of this study was to characterize changes in the left ventricular (LV)
blood flow kinetic energy (KE) using four-dimensional (4D) flow cardiovascular magnetic …

Background Measurement of intracardiac kinetic energy (KE) provides new insights into
cardiac hemodynamics and may improve assessment and understanding of heart failure …

Wall shear stress (WSS) plays a governing role in vascular remodeling and a pathogenic
role in vessel wall diseases. However, little is known of the normal WSS patterns in the aorta …

Background: Pressure-volume (PV) loops provide a wealth of information on cardiac
function but are not readily available in clinical routine or in clinical trials. This study aimed to …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a significant risk of stroke due to thrombus formation, which
primarily occurs in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Medical image‐based computational fluid …

Background Four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (4D flow CMR) is an
emerging non-invasive imaging technology used to visualise and quantify intra-cardiac …
