Fluid-mechanics Simulations of Ventricular Function under LVAD Support
LVAD implantation is often used to assist patients suffering heart failure. These devices profoundly alter ventricular behaviour, however, the precise impact on the myocardium and on ventricular blood flow remains unknown. We have developed an anatomically accurate coupled fluid-mechanical model of...
