RISLeft Ventricular Pressure Gating in Ovine Cardiac Studies: A Software Based Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cardiac imaging using magnetic resonance requires a gating signal in order to compensate for motion. Human patients are routinely scanned using an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a gating signal during imaging. However, we found ...
Finite Element Modeling of Mitral Valve Repair
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mitral valve is a complex structure regulating forward flow of blood between the left atrium and left ventricle (LV). Multiple disease processes can affect its proper function, and when these diseases cause severe ...
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 ...
