Heart failure is a syndrome characterized initially by left ventricular dysfunction that triggers
countermeasures aimed to restore cardiac output. These responses are compensatory at first …

Several epidemiological studies have reported that an elevated heart rate is associated with
coronary atherosclerosis independently of other risk factors. In this review we explore the …

Despite the fact that the role of wall shear stress (WSS) as a local mechanical factor in
atherogenesis is well established, its distribution over the entire normal human left coronary artery …

The capabilities and limitations of various molecular viscosity models, in the left coronary
arterial tree, were analyzed via: molecular viscosity, local and global non-Newtonian …

BACKGROUND: Perioperative delirium is common in high-risk surgery and is associated
with age, education, preoperative cognitive functioning, pre-existing medical conditions, and …

We determined the prevalence of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) in patients who were referred
to our institution for coronary angiography for any reason and investigated its potential …

We sought to investigate the prevalence of left main coronary artery significant stenosis (LMSS)
(≥50% of the luminal diameter) in an angiographic series of patients, to describe the …

A method for extraction and labeling of the coronary arterial tree (CAT) using minimal user
supervision in single-view angiograms is proposed. The CAT structural description (skeleton …

The detection of lumen and media-adventitia borders in intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
images constitutes a necessary step for the quantitative assessment of atherosclerotic lesions. …

Objective To investigate the wall shear stress oscillation in a normal human left coronary artery
bifurcation computational model by applying non-Newtonian blood properties and phasic …
