Cardiovascular flow imaging and analysis encompasses a suite of non-invasive modalities and computational approaches designed to characterise blood motion and haemodynamic forces within the heart and ...

Blacksburg, Va. -- Advancing the understanding of cardiovascular flows in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease is the goal of Virginia Tech College of Engineering researcher ...

For decades, ultrasound has been associated with diagnostics—a routine scan in a hospital room, a monitor displaying organs, ...

Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) was an important independent component of ischemic heart disease, though it often ...

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

The biofluids lab utilizes fluid and solid mechanics principles, clinical expertise and design and manufacturing to find solutions for cardiovascular flow problems. The lab scope involves both basic ...

Blood flow in the human body is generally assumed to be smooth due to its low speed and high viscosity. Unsteadiness in blood flow is linked to various cardiovascular diseases and has been shown to ...

Heart murmur is the medical term for audible blood flow through the heart. There are two main types of heart murmurs: physiologic and pathophysiologic. Flow murmurs are one example of a physiologic ...

Researchers combined two modal decomposition techniques to better understand flow patterns inside the left ventricle that may ...
