Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the least understood and highly elusive cardiovascular conditions associated with elevated pulmonary arterial pressure. Although the disease mechanisms are not completely understood, ...

Abstract: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) evolve over time, and the vertebral column, which acts as an external barrier, affects their biomechanical properties. Mechanical interaction between AAAs and the spine is believed to alter ...

Abstract: For the accurate prediction of the vascular disease progression, there is a crucial need for developing a systematic tool aimed toward patientspecific modeling. Considering the interpatient variations, a prior distribution ...

Abstract: Venous ulcers are deep wounds that are located predominantly on the lower leg. They are prone to infection and once healed have a high probability of recurrence. Currently, there are no effective measures to predict and ...

Abstract: Multiscale coupling between cell-scale biology and tissue-scale mechanics is a promising approach for modeling disease growth. In such models, tissue-level growth and remodeling (G&R) are driven by cell-level signaling ...
