An image-based computational hemodynamics study of the Systolic Anterior Motion of the mitral valve

Alfio Quarteroni, Luca Dede', Christian Vergara

Systolic Anterior Motion (SAM) of the mitral valve - often associated with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM) - is a cardiac pathology in which a functional subaortic stenosis is induced during systole by the mitral leaflets partially obstructi ...

Design optimization of Miniature Magnetorheological Valves with Self-Sensing Capabilities Used for a Wearable Medical Application

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Minh Trung Duöng

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are materials characterized as “intelligent” since their rheological properties may be controlled by the excitation of an external magnetic field. The application of the latter brings the fluid from a liquid to a semi-solid s ...

Fluid dynamics of an idealized left ventricle: the extended Nitsche's method for the treatment of heart valves as mixed time varying boundary conditions

Alfio Quarteroni, Anna Tagliabue

In this work, we study the blood flow dynamics in idealized left ventricles (LV) of the human heart modelled by the Navier-Stokes equations with mixed time varying boundary conditions. The latter are introduced for simulating the functioning of the aortic ...

A patient-specific aortic valve model based on moving resistive immersed implicit surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Elena Faggiano

In this paper, we propose a full computational framework to simulate the hemodynamics in the aorta including the valve. Closed and open valve surfaces, as well as the lumen aorta, are reconstructed directly from medical images using new ad hoc algorithms, ...

Numerical modeling of heart valves using resistive Eulerian surfaces

Alfio Quarteroni, Aymen Laadhari

The goal of this work is the development and numerical implementation of a mathematical model describing the functioning of heart valves. To couple the pulsatile blood flow with a highly deformable thin structure (the valve's leaflets), a resistive Euleria ...

Helical flows and asymmetry of blood jet in dilated ascending aorta with normally functioning bicuspid valve

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Elena Faggiano

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with aortic dilatation and aneurysm. Several studies evidenced an eccentric systolic flow in ascending aorta associated with increased wall shear stresses (WSS) and the occurrence of an helical systolic flow. This ...
