A method of determining the optimal kernel size for filtering noise in vortex dominated flow-fields, as found in the cardiac chambers is presented in this paper. Using synthetic flow fields generated ...

No-reflow syndrome can affect people after a heart attack or a medical procedure. Dr Ashok Seth explains why clear arteries ...

Modern civilization depends on the transport of liquid and gases in systems of pipes, just as humans depend on the transport of blood through arteries and veins 1. As fluids move through pipes, they ...

The effects of temporary mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump on mortality among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock ...

Using magnetic cameras, researchers at Linköping University have examined blood flow in an artificial heart in real time. The results make it possible to design the heart in a way to reduce the risk ...

A research team led by Matthew Nystoriak, Ph.D., associate professor of biomedical research and translational medicine at Masonic Medical Research Institute (MMRI), has uncovered groundbreaking ...

In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-induced cardiogenic shock undergoing hemodynamic monitoring with a pulmonary artery catheter, the use of a microaxial flow pump ...

Based on the clinical and scientific evidence now available, there are no clinical scenarios or patient subgroups where cardiac PET with myocardial blood flow should be excluded.” — Timothy Bateman, ...
