Fluid dynamics of heart valves during atrial fibrillation: a lumped parameter-based approach.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) consequences on the heart valve dynamics are usually studied along with a valvular disfunction or disease, since in medical monitoring, the two pathologies are often concomitant. Aim of the present work is to study, through a stochastic lumped-parameter approach, the basic fluid dynamics variations of heart valves, when only paroxysmal AF is present with respect to the ...
متن کاملCharacterizing the Cardiovascular Functions during Atrial Fibrillation through Lumped-parameter Modeling
Atrial fibrillation (AF), causing irregular and rapid heartbeats, is the most common arrhythmia. Due to the widespread impact on the population and the disabling symptoms related to rapid heart rate, AF is a subject of growing interest under several aspects: statistical analyses on the heartbeat distributions, risk factors, impact on quality of life, correlation with other cardiac pathologies. ...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics modelling of left valvular heart diseases during atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND Although atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia, frequently presents in patients with underlying valvular disease, its hemodynamic contributions are not fully understood. The present work aimed to computationally study how physical conditions imposed by pathologic valvular anatomy act on AF hemodynamics. METHODS We simulated AF with different severity grades of left-sided va...
متن کاملNew manifestations of electrophysiological remodeling of heart during experimental model of atrial fibrillation in cirrhotic rat isolated heart
Introduction: The present study is aimed to evaluate electrophysiological remodeling of atrioventricular (AV) node and ventricular conduction during experimental atrial fibrillation (AF) model in isolated heart of cirrhotic rats. Methods: Cirrhosis-induced electrophysiological remodeling was evaluated in 24 isolated retrogradely perfused rat hearts in 2 groups (control and cirrhotic). Cirrho...
متن کاملProtective effects of simvastatin on atrioventricular node during simulated experimental atrial fibrillation in vitro
Introduction: Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. The primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an isolated atrioventricula...
