TL;DR: The adoption of CFD modelling signals a new era in cardiovascular medicine and a number of academic and commercial groups are addressing the associated methodological, regulatory, education- and service-related challenges.

TL;DR: It is proposed that stents modify endothelial repair processes, in part, by altering fluid shear stress, a mechanical force that influences EC migration and proliferation.

TL;DR: The direct comparison of hemodynamic parameters and biological response supports the hypothesis that low and oscillatory WSS lead to a greater neointimal response within the stented region and leads to a markedly non-uniform distribution of WSS values and correlates with asymmetric neo-intimal growth.

TL;DR: This paper develops and explores the use of a thermal analogue of the drug delivery process and the associated three-dimensional convection–diffusion equation to model the spatial and temporal distribution of drug concentration within the vessel wall.

TL;DR: A new method of using electrical impedance tomographic (EIT) measurements on a group of 142 normal neonates to determine the absolute resistivity of lung tissue, which is lower than that usually given for adult lung tissue but consistent with the literature on the composition of the neonatal lung and with structural modelling.
