A Multiphysics Biventricular Cardiac Model: Simulations With a Left-Ventricular Assist Device

Computational models have become essential in predicting medical device efficacy prior to clinical studies. To investigate the performance of a left-ventricular assist device (LVAD), a fully-coupled cardiac fluid-electromechanics finite element model was developed, incorporating electrical activatio...
