Pulsatile flow

TL;DR: Together with biochemical factors, fluid mechanical factors play a role in atherogenesis and the deposition of blood platelets at bends and bifurcations in human arteries and flow patterns were investigated in a simplified 3-dimensional model using Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the SBP2, an estimate of central SBP, is significantly associated with the presence of SVD in an apparently healthy general population.

TL;DR: This result indicates that oxygenated blood from the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuit does not pass in a retrograde fashion into the aortic root and thus does not perfuse the coronary arteries, causing undesirable hemodynamic effects on the left ventricle.

TL;DR: Thirty consecutive infants undergoing hypothermia and circulatory arrest for repair of ventricular septal defect, transposition of the great vessels, or atrioventricular canal defects were alternately selected for conventional high flow nonpulsatile perfusion or pulsatile perfusions during core cooling and rewarming to suggest that pulsatile perfume is safe and is more rapid and physiological than conventional high-flow nonpulse perfusion.

TL;DR: This investigation tested the hypothesis that pulsatile left ventricular assist synchronized to the cardiac cycle provides superiorleft ventricular unloading and circulatory support compared with continuous-flow left Ventricular assist devices at the same level of ventricular assistance device flow.
