Abstract: Large conduit arteries are not purely elastic, but viscoelastic, which affects not only the mechanical behavior but also the ventricular afterload. Different hysteresis loops such as pressurediameter, pressureluminal ...

Abstract: Engineering virtual internships are a novel paradigm for providing authentic engineering experiences in the firstyear curriculum. They are both individualized and accommodate large numbers of students. As we describe in ...

Abstract: The recombinant congenic mouse strains HcB8 and HcB23 differ in femoral shape, size, and strength, with HcB8 femora being more gracile, more cylindrical, weaker, and having higher Young's modulus. In previous work, we ...

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Many cardiovascular diseases are better diagnosed during a cardiac stress test. Current approaches include either exercise or pharmacological stress ...

Abstract: Right ventricular (RV) failure, which occurs in the setting of pressure overload, is characterized by abnormalities in mechanical and energetic function. The effects of these cell- and tissue-level changes on organ-level ...
