Project
Left Ventricle with Mitral Valve
Patient-specific simulation of blood flow in the left ventricle with mitral valve. Captures the complex vortex formation during diastole.
1 Challenge
Patient-specific simulation of blood flow in the left ventricle with mitral valve to understand cardiac hemodynamics.
2 CFD Approach
Simulation of a cardiovascular cycle (systole-diastole) with MRI-based geometry of the left ventricle. Mitral and aortic valves were modeled as inflow and outflow boundaries.
3 Results
Contours of vorticity magnitude during moving walls of LV show formations of E and A waves during diastole.
4 Engineering Conclusion
The simulation captures the complex vortex formation and blood flux through mitral/aortic valves.
