Towards a Computational Framework for Modeling the Impact of Aortic Coarctations Upon Left Ventricular Load

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models of blood flow in the left ventricle (LV) and aorta are important tools for analyzing the mechanistic links between myocardial deformation and flow patterns. Typically, the use of image-based kinematic CFD models prevails in applications such as predicting th...
