Multi-physics simulations reveal hemodynamic impacts of patient-derived fibrosis-related changes in left atrial tissue mechanics
2024-05-30
Abstract excerpt
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Atrial myopathy, including fibrosis, is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, but the mechanisms underlying this association are poorly understood. Fibrosis modifies myocardial structure, impairing electrical propagation and tissue biomechanics, and creating stagnant flow regions where clots could form. Fibrosis can be mapped non-invasive...
