Researchers used an electrophysiological computer model of the heart's electrical circuits to examine the effect of the applied voltage field in multiple fibrillation-defibrillation scenarios. They discovered far less energy is needed than is currently used in state-of-the-art defibrillation techniques. The authors applied an adjoint optimization method and discovered adjusting the duration and the smooth variation in time of the voltage supplied by defibrillation devices is a more efficient mec

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
