A team led by researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill have developed an innovative computer model of blood flow in the human heart that promises to transform how we understand, diagnose, and treat heart conditions. This new model, grounded in realistic mathematical descriptions of the heart's anatomy and physiology, successfully captures normal heart function and can predict how the heart responds to different levels of blood flow.

Aortic stenosis (AS) due to fibrosis and calcification of the aortic valve is a hazardous component of cardiovascular disease burden—after developing symptomatic AS, patients survive for an average of less than 2 years without treatment. Alongside the shared presence of many traditional cardiometabolic risk factors, the earliest comparisons of AS and atherosclerotic lesions suggested gross morphological and histological similarities (eg, basement membrane disruption, lipid deposition, immune cel

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 17, Issue 12 , Page e013964, December 1, 2024. BACKGROUND:Covered stent correction (CSC) of a superior sinus venosus atrial septal defect is an alternative to surgery in selected patients, but anatomic variation means that assessment for CSC requires a 3-dimensional anatomic understanding. Heart VR is a virtual reality (VR) system that rapidly displays and renders multimodality imaging without prior image segmentation.

Abstract Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a known complication of cardiac implantable electrical devices (CIEDs), with prevalences ranging from 10% to as high as 30%. Despite left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has emerged as an alternative to the limits of His-bundle pacing (HBP), the long-term safety of this procedure, notably the worsening of TR after implantation, has yet to be thoroughly investigated.
