Abstract:
A system of 32 first-order differential equations is formulated and solved for the LP model using a fourth-order adaptive Runge-Kutta solver. The output pressure and flow waveforms obtained from the LP model are imposed as boundary conditions on the CFD model. Coupling of the two models is done through an iterative process where the parameters in the LP model are adjusted to match the CFD solution. The CFD model domain is a representative HLHS anatomy of an infant after undergoing the Hybrid Norwood procedure and is comprised of the neo-aorta, pulmonary roots, aortic arch with branching arteri

Abstract:
Heart failure patients have dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system that contributes to a high burden of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation and sudden cardiac death. Heart failure has been associated with the inflammatory response, but it is unknown if inflammation is playing a role in the remodelling of the cardiac conduction system in heart failure. Inflammation has been shown to be present in the myocardium from failing hearts and it is known to have detrimental effects on cardiac function, inducing fibrosis, remodelling of ion channels and even arrhythmias. However, the effect

Abstract:
Gap junctions are clusters of transmembrane channels, composed of connexins (Cx), that facilitate electrical and chemical communication between the cytoplasmic compartments of contiguous cells. Three connexins are expressed in cardiac myocytes, Cx40, Cx43 and Cx45. Targeted deletion of these connexin genes in mice results in cardiac malformations and conduction abnormalities. From this background, the question arises as to whether connexins play a role in human congenital heart disease.

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of death among children less than one year. CHD is genetically heterogeneous, but analysis of large multi-generational families has led to the identification of a number of genes for CHD. In this project I investigated the molecular genetic basis of CHD in a large Kuwaiti family with clinically diagnosed truncus arteriosus. Using a homozygosity mapping approach I identified a region of interest on chromosome 8p21. I proceeded to sequence candidate genes in this region.
