Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are essential for end-stage heart failure patients, but their design must balance hydraulic efficiency and hemocompatibility to minimize blood damage. This study presents a multi-objective optimization framework inte...
During thrombosis, platelets rapidly deposit and activate on the vessel wall, driving conditions such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The complexity of thrombus formation in pathological flow geometries, along with patient-specific pharmacologic...
A cardiac digital twin is a virtual replica of a patient-specific heart, mimicking its anatomy and physiology. A crucial step of building a cardiac digital twin is anatomical twinning, where the computational mesh of the digital twin is tailored to t...
BACKGROUND: The risk stratification and prognosis of cardiac arrhythmia depend on the individual condition of patients, while invasive diagnostic methods may be risky to patient health, and current non-invasive diagnostic methods are applicable to fe...
