Abstract:
Aggregation of red blood cells (RBCs) varies substantially depending on changes of several factors such as hematocrit, membrane deformability, and plasma proteins. Among these factors, hematocrit has a strong influence on the aggregation of RBCs. Thus, while measuring RBCs aggregation, it is necessary to monitor hematocrit or, additionally, the effect of hematocrit (i.e., blood viscosity or pressure). In this study, the sequential measurement method of pressure and RBC aggregation is proposed by quantifying blood flow (i.e., velocity and image intensity) through a microfluidic device, in which

Biophysical properties are widely used to detect pathophysiological processes of vascular diseases or clinical states. For early detection of cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to simultaneously measure multiple biophysical properties in a microfluidic environment.

Abstract:
Fractional flow reserve is an index of the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis, defined as the ratio of maximal myocardial blood flow in the presence of the stenosis to the theoretically normal maximal myocardial blood flow (i.e. in the absence of the stenosis). This flow ratio can be calculated from the ratio of distal coronary pressure to central aortic pressure during maximal hyperaemia. More practically, fractional flow reserve indicates to what extent the epicardial segment can be responsible for myocardial ischaemia and, accordingly, fractional flow reserve quantifies the expected perfusion benefit from revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention. Very limited evidence exists on the role on fractional flow reserve for bypass grafts.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses right ventricular assist device (RVAD) therapies. Current RVAD options include the Impella Right Peripheral, the Tandem Heart, the Protek Duo system, and a surgically placed CentriMag RVAD. Important considerations when choosing a device include operator familiarity, the need for an oxygenator, the availability of a surgeon, and specific contraindications such as severe tricuspid regurgitation, an occluded internal jugular vein, or the presence of an inferior vena cava filter. It is important to consider the hemodynamic effects on the left ventricle (LV) after placement of an RVAD. Identifying biventricular failure early is critical when RVAD implantation is considered. RVADs reduce right atrial pressure, increase flow through the pulmonary arteries, and increase LV preload and wedge pressure. This change in preload may worsen LV function and cause pulmonary edema in patients with LV failure. LV assist device revolutions per minute may need to increase after placement of an RVAD to manage increased flow to the LV. Ultimately, assessing changes in oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and echocardiographic indices can guide hemodynamic management of RVAD therapy.

Abstract:
Symptoms of unexplained exertional breathlessness or symptoms out of proportion to coexistent heart or lung disease should alert the clinician to the possibility of pulmonary hypertension, and the condition should be actively sought in patients with known associated conditions, such as scleroderma, hypoxic lung disease, liver disease, or congenital heart disease. Heterozygous germ-line mutations in the gene encoding the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor (BMPR2) are found in over 70% of families with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mm Hg at rest, and may be due to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (e.g. pulmonary arterial hypertension), increased transpulmonary blood flow (e.g. congenital heart disease), or increased pulmonary venous pressures (e.g. mitral stenosis). Exercise tolerance and survival in pulmonary hypertension is ultimately related to indices of right heart function, such as cardiac output.

Abstract:
World War one witnessed the first dense flow of Indian labor into the Persian Gulf. To reconstruct the campaign in Mesopotamia/Iraq after the reverses of 1915-16, the Indian Army demanded non-combatants for dock-work, construction labor and medical and transport services. This chapter explores the Government of India’s anxious deliberations about the choice of legal form in which to meet this demand. The sending of labor for military work overseas had to be distanced conceptually from the stigmatized system of indentured labor migration. There was a danger of disrupting those labor networks across India and around the Bay of Bengal which maintained the supply of material goods for the war. Non-combatant recruitment took the war into new sites and spaces. Regimes of labor servitude were tapped but some form of emancipation had to be promised. The chapter focusses on seven jail- recruited Indian Labor and Porter Corps to explore the work regime in Mesopotamia. Labor units often insisted on fixed engagements rather than ‘duration of war’ agreements, but had to struggle for exit at the conclusion of their contract. After the Armistice, Britain still needed Indian labor and troops in Mesopotamia but sought to prevent the emergence of a settler population.

Abstract:
Based on an understanding of how a stenosis impacts the ability of a coronary artery to deliver adequate myocardial blood flow, coupled with the results of the DEFER, FAME, and FAME 2 studies, fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become the most widely used and the only guideline-recommended method for the invasive functional evaluation of patients with stable ischaemic heart disease. The absolute value of FFR predicts prognosis and when treatment decisions are made or modified in response to the FFR value, clinical outcomes are improved. Major adverse cardiovascular event rates related to lesions deferred for revascularization on the basis of non-ischaemic FFR results are low. When compared to FFR, resting (non-hyperaemic) indices of physiological stenosis severity such as resting Pd/Pa or instantaneous wave-free ratio are associated with misclassification of 20% of lesions using binary cut-off values and 10% of lesions when hybrid strategies are used. Nevertheless, in low-risk patient populations, randomized clinical trials comparing instantaneous wave-free ratio versus FFR-guided management have shown non-inferiority. A comprehensive invasive assessment of patients with stable ischaemic heart disease requires an evaluation of microvascular dysfunction most commonly obtained by measuring the index of microcirculatory resistance. Patients with non-ischaemic FFR values but an elevated index of microcirculatory resistance have an increased incidence of adverse events.

Abstract:
Aortic sclerosis is a very common disease and is related to the atherosclerotic process which can start in young adulthood. The loss of compliance of the aortic ‘Windkessel’ is a major drawback of the disease, leading to enhanced blood pressure amplitude—elevated pulse pressure—due to a higher systolic and a lower diastolic blood pressure. The pressure pulse wave augmentation index and the pulse wave velocity increase. Ultrasound is able to visualize only limited aortic segments, whereas computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are the best tools to detect and quantify aortic atheromas. Nevertheless, transoesophageal echocardiography can image the descending thoracic aorta down to the coeliac trunk. An aortic atheroma, particularly one greater than 4 mm in size in the aortic arch, indicates an increased risk of stroke and other cardiovascular events. A grading is helpful. Plaque rupture is quite frequent and often found in multiple segments of the aorta indicating an increased risk of cholesterol emboli due to the wash-out of debris with or without thrombotic material. Free-floating structures, possible remnants of fibrous cap, are found as well as mobile thrombi. Calcification of the thoracic aorta is often found when coronary artery calcification is present, but may be present when coronary artery calcification is absent. Risk prediction of events is, however, not improved. Therapy for aortic sclerosis is based on common and recent guidelines for prevention and treatment of risk factors. Endovascular or surgical interventions are limited to rare situation in which blood flow is not preserved.

Abstract:
The ReliantHeart aVAD<sup>©</sup> is a new intraventricular axial flow pump with pumping components that fit within the inflow cannula of the ventricular assist device (VAD). The aVAD<sup>©</sup> is an improvement over its predecessor, the extra-ventricular HeartAssist5 (HA5)™. The pumping components, inflow guide vane, impeller, and diffuser of the aVAD<sup>©</sup> are identical to those in the HA5, which in turn were derived from the original collaboration between Baylor College of Medicine and NASA. The current device provides excellent physiologic support for patients in end-stage heart failure and provides advanced ultrasonic flow measurements and performance data for wireless remote monitoring. In 2011 and 2012, the aVAD<sup>©</sup> was used successfully in calf studies as an artificial heart, with each ventricle being replaced by a modified HA5 VAD<sup>©</sup>. The two predecessor aVADs<sup>©</sup> were placed vertically, side by side, which provided a more compact total artificial heart with formable outflow graft protectors directed to the aorta and pulmonary artery. An ultrasonic flow probe accurately measures flow under all conditions, even in implants in place for years. The probe indicates flow in the range of –4 to +10 L/min with &gt;95% accuracy. The probe can determine the relative contributions of the LVAD and native heart to adequate blood flow. The aVAD<sup>©</sup> meets the safety standards of the European Union and is sold in Europe. The aVAD is not yet available in the United States but is being tested under an FDA investigational device exemption.

Abstract:
Abstract In light of the utility of radial vibration of the arterial wall for clinical values, this paper presents a theoretical study on the relations of radial vibration of the arterial wall to pulsatile parameters in blood flow. Pulse wave propagation in an artery is formulated as a combination of the governing equations of blood flow and the arterial wall and no-slip conditions at the blood-wall interface. A free wave propagation analysis is conducted on the problem to obtain the wave velocity and the theoretical expressions for blood flow rate and arterial radial displacement in terms of

Abstract:
Development of non-invasive diagnostic indices often requires accurate blood-flow calculation using physiologically realistic velocity profiles as boundary conditions. In this research, a methodology is being developed and validated that can directly use phase-contrast MR imaging (PC-MRI) based velocity measurement to perform blood-flow computation with patient-specific geometry. Using this methodology, the pressure drop can also be calculated non-invasively. Although the main focus of our research has been pulmonary insufficiency (PI) in tetralogy patients, our method can be employed in many

Abstract:
There is increasing interest in assessing metrics of blood flow characteristics as prognostic indicators of rupture risk in intracranial aneurysms. Aneurysmal hemodynamics may be and has been quantified in the literature by numerous indices (about 18, to the best of our knowledge) each capturing some characteristic of flow. But are all these indices capturing unique characteristics of flow or are many of them redundant? And are they mainly proxies for basic morphological characteristics? Answering this question and identifying the indices that capture unique aspects of flow has practical impli

The main purpose of this research is to analyze blood flow in various scenarios such as 20%, 50% and 80% blockage in blood vessel due to aortic atherosclerosis. Valuable Information for clinical diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases can be obtained by analyzing the behavior of blood flow and its variations. An idealized numerical model of the human bifurcated aorta is created then simulations of steady blood flow were performed on this model and various parameters have been considered. The model parameters include the blood flow velocity, pressure, wall shear stress (WSS) of vessels, constant b

Abstract:
Research indicates that an afterload reducing agent improves ventricular-vascular interactions and Fontan hemodynamics [1]. Few such therapeutic alternatives exist for the failing Fontan patient beyond conventional pharmacologic therapy. To address this need for therapeutic options, we are developing an intravascular, magnetically levitated axial flow blood pump to support the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) of a failing Fontan in adolescent and adult patients [1,2]. Our pump is designed to provide mechanical pressure augmentation of blood flow from the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the lu

Abstract:
Blood vessel diseases such as ischemic cardiac disease or cerebral aneurysm are life-threatening disorders and as large a cause of death as cancer in many countries. The rupture of a cerebral aneurysm usually causes subarachnoidal hemorrhage the mortality of which is very high. Previous studies have proved that the genesis and growth of aneurysm are related to hemodynamics. Especially, in endovascular therapy for cerebral aneurysms using medical devices such as coils or stents, hemodynamics in an aneurysm are related to thrombosis formation in the aneurysm and to its repair.

Abstract:
Most of aneurysms in the cranial cavity occur at the bifurcation of anterior circulation system. A cerebral aneurysm is easily ruptured, and it is fatal for most patients. Generally it is known that aneurysm occurs when arterial wall is deformed by high pressure or high wall shear stress (WSS). A blood flow pattern and the geometry and the blood vessel are important factors for aneurysm formation and the location. The transient interaction between blood flow and the arterial wall affects for simulating deformation of the blood vessel. Thus, numerical analysis is performed for various bifurcati

Hemodynamics is considered to be one of the indices to evaluate the effects of the treatment by coil embolization for cerebral aneurysms. For the sake of detailed analysis of hemodynamics in coil-embolized aneurysms, we develop a virtual coil model based on the mechanical theory that the coil deforms toward minimizing the elastic energy, and represent a realistic configuration of the embolized coils in the aneurysm by the insertion simulation. Then, the blood flow analysis is done by solving the N.S. and continuity equations numerically with the finite volume method using polyhedral mesh. The
