Similar to testing a car, a team of researchers at UBC Okanagan has been test-driving a number of mechanical heart valves (MHV)—and the one designed in their own lab appears to outperform the others.

CT imaging is more accurate than ultrasound for vertebral artery disease, subclavian artery disease ... An active wound requires a high level of blood flow to heal adequately, so the primary goal of ...

to simulate pulsatile flow in the blood artery has become a promising alternative approach. In this paper the 2-dimensional model of blood flow in the rectangular coordinates is formed by numerical ...

Flow diverters redirect blood flow along the parent artery by passing the vessel wall defect, allowing the aneurysm to be occluded while the parent artery is simultaneously reconstructed through ...

Background: Population studies have shown that increased large artery stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Experimental studies have shown that a stiff aorta is associated ...

In this study, effects of human left coronary artery motions on its blood flow rate were investigated using an experimental model. Also, the different blood viscosities were experimented as the ...

We aimed to evaluate the relationship between myocardial blood flow and myocardial function in patients with ... We excluded patients with known coronary artery disease and those who had undergone ...

Persistence beyond fetal development, however, results in vascular anomalies that alter haemodynamic flow with a predisposition for aneurysm ... the ‘transclival artery’, which courses through its own ...

Ischemic Colitis occurs when blood flow to part of the colon is reduced or blocked, causing inflammation and potential tissue damage. Symptoms can range from mild abdominal discomfort to severe ...

Right aberrant subclavian artery, also called arteria lusoria, is one of the most common intrathoracic arterial anomalies. Although mostly asymptomatic, the retroesophageal and retrotracheal ...
