LV CFD models of ejection are hypothesis-generating in animals; leaves open complementarity with human imaging.
A computational fluid dynamics model of the left ventricle demonstrates the potential to simulate ejection dynamics, which could complement imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI.
Taylor et al. (1995) studied Left ventricular ejection modeling. Computational fluid dynamics simulation was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection characteristics (velocity vectors and pressure). A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics simulation of left ventricular ejection demonstrated that velocity vectors greatly increased at the aortic outlet and most pressure occurred in the top 15%.
