Hemodynamic modeling in human left ventricle

It has been found that the most useful images were those showing the apical 2-chamber or 4-chamber views because there are few intrusions (artifacts), such as from the papillary muscles. The computation follows that outlined in Macpherson ...

Cardiac surgery
Cardiovascular (heart) surgery is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons. Frequently, it is done to treat complications of ischemic heart disease (for example, coronary artery bypass grafting), correct congenital heart disease, or treat valvular heart disease from various causes including endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease and atherosclerosis. It also includes heart transplantation.
