Numerical analysis of the blood flow in the left ventricle with internal structures: Effect of trabeculae carneae models and atrial fibrillation

Internal structures of the inner wall of the left ventricle (LV), such as trabeculae carneae (TC) and papillary muscles, may reduce the blood flow velocity, resulting in thrombus formation in the LV of a healthy heart or a heart with atrial fibrillation. The purpose of the present study was to numer...
