This paper develops 3D-printed heart phantoms with known stiffness to validate myocardial stiffness estimation methods using MRI and computational modeling.

This paper introduces an MRI-based finite element modeling method to predict myocardial ischemia effects in patients with functional mitral regurgitation, showing successful convergence and agreement with experimental data.

This study uses finite element modeling to show that MitraClip increases leaflet stress and myocardial strain in patients with functional mitral regurgitation and coronary disease, with effects amplified by left ventricular enlargement.

This study measures left ventricular geometry and ESPVR during vena cava occlusion in sheep using real-time MRI and a modified segmentation method, revealing non-linear responses and chamber collapse.
