Age-Dependence of Flow Homeostasis in the Left Ventricle

Age-Dependence of Flow Homeostasis in the Left Ventricle

Background: Intracardiac flow homeostasis requires avoiding blood stasis and platelet activation during its transit through the cardiac chambers. However, the foundations of intraventricular blood washout and its exposure to shear stresses have been poorly addressed. We aimed to characterize and qua...
