Numerical analysis of the effect of trabeculae carneae models on blood flow in a left ventricle model constructed from magnetic resonance images

Although the blood flow velocity in a left ventricle (LV) has been considered to be sufficiently fast to prevent thrombus formation, internal wall structures, such as trabeculae carneae (TC) and papillary muscle, recently received attention as possible causes of reduced near-wall blood flow. As a fu...
