Left Ventricular Flow Analysis: Recent Advances in Numerical Methods and Applications in Cardiac Ultrasound

Figure 3

Simulation of the left ventricle and a bioprosthetic heart valve in the aortic position. The 3D vortical structures downstream of the valve are visualized using isosurfaces of q-criteria, whereas the flow inside the LV is visualized using velocity vectors.
