Bifurcations in valveless pumping techniques from a coupled fluid-structure-electrophysiology model in heart development
Nicholas A. Battista, Laura A. Miller
We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immer…
Fluid Dynamics in Heart Development: Effects of Hematocrit and Trabeculation
Nicholas A. Battista, Andrea N. Lane, Jiandong Liu +1
Recent \emph{in vivo} experiments have illustrated the importance of understanding the hemodynamics of heart morphogenesis. In particular, ventricular trabeculation is governed by…
On the dynamic suction pumping of blood cells in tubular hearts
Nicholas A. Battista, Andrea N. Lane, Laura A. Miller
Around the third week after gestation in embryonic development, the human heart consists only of a valvless tube, unlike a fully developed adult heart, which is multi-chambered. At…
Vortex dynamics in trabeculated embryonic ventricles
Nicholas A. Battista, Dylan R. Douglas, Andrea N. Lane +3
Proper heart morphogenesis requires a delicate balance between hemodynamic forces, myocardial activity, morphogen gradients, and epigenetic signaling, all of which are coupled with…
