Hæmodynamical simulations using one‐dimensional (1D) computational models exhibit
many of the features of the systemic circulation under normal and diseased conditions. Recent …

COVID-19 has caused great devastation in the past year. Multi-organ point-of-care ultrasound
(PoCUS) including lung ultrasound (LUS) and focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) as a …

Subsidence related to multiple natural and human-induced processes affects an increasing
number of areas worldwide. Although this phenomenon may involve surface deformation …

Thirty-five patients with severe mitral stenosis underwent percutaneous mitral valvotomy (PMV).
There were 29 female and six male patients (mean age 49 +/- 3 years, range 13 to 87). …

In this work, a multidimensional 3D–1D FEM model of the whole arterial tree is implemented.
It comprises a 3D compliant model of the carotid bifurcation coupled with a 1D model for …

Simulation platforms are increasingly becoming complementary tools for cutting-edge
cardiovascular research. The interplay among structural properties of the arterial wall, …

A unified variational theory is proposed for a general class of multiscale models based on
the concept of Representative Volume Element. The entire theory lies on three fundamental …

Rationale The role of hypertension in cerebral small vessel disease is poorly understood. At
the base of the brain (the ‘vascular centrencephalon’), short straight arteries transmit blood …

A multiscale theory of solids based on the concept of representative volume element (RVE)
and accounting for micro-scale inertia and body forces is proposed. A simple extension of the …

Background Stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) are basic hemodynamic parameters
which aid in targeting organ perfusion and oxygen delivery in critically ill patients with …
