To be able to observe the blood flow in the artificial heart in real time in the MRI, the researchers an Linköping University had to build a full-scale model of the human circulatory system. Using ...

The effects of temporary mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump on mortality among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock ...

When it comes to medical applications, fluid transfer is critical. Whether it’s delivering medications, nutrients, or blood, pumps are vital in ensuring accuracy and safety. One technology that’s ...

The advent of new imaging modalities (i. e., 4D MRI, 3D echocardiography) in recent years have facilitated the study and growing recognition that some of the flow in the cardiovascular system is ...

Researchers report in a study of muscle pump action in the context of chronic lower-limb edema. They found that body posture and exercise habits affect the blood pumping action of muscles in the leg, ...
