Patient-Specific Computational Analysis of Ventricular Mechanics in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Patient-specific biventricular computational models associated with a normal subject and a pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patient were developed to investigate the disease effects on ventricular mechanics. These ...
Estimation of Regional Pulmonary Compliance in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Based on Personalized Lung Poromechanical Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pulmonary function is tightly linked to the lung mechanical behavior, especially large deformation during breathing. Interstitial lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), have an impact on the pulmonary ...
A Novel Method for Quantifying Smooth Regional Variations in Myocardial Contractility Within an Infarcted Human Left Ventricle Based on Delay Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heart failure is increasing at an alarming rate, making it a worldwide epidemic. As the population ages and life expectancy increases, this trend is not likely to change. Myocardial infarction (MI)induced adverse left ...
