Support Pressure Acting on the Epicardial Surface of a Rat Left Ventricle—A Computational Study

Support Pressure Acting on the Epicardial Surface of a Rat Left Ventricle—A Computational Study

The present computational study investigates the effects of an epicardial support pressure mimicking a heart support system without direct blood contact. We chose restrictive cardiomyopathy as a model for a diseased heart. By changing one parameter representing the amount of fibrosis, this model all...
