Abstract

Image-based computational models for blood flow in the heart and diseased arteries have been developed for disease assessment and potential clinical applications. Models with fluid-structure interactions for human right ventricle (RV) remodeling surgery design, carotid and coronary atherosclerotic plaques and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) were presented. Organ morphology, material properties, governing equations, proper initial and boundary conditions, controlling factors and research focuses for each model were discussed.
