Assessment and prediction of blood flow dynamics in congenital aortic abnormalities using image-based computer modelling and wave intensity analysis [ 2011 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Jonathan Mynard (Principal investigator)

Brief description Severe aortic abnormality is a serious problem in many infants with congenital heart disease, but it is often unclear what type of treatment will optimise blood flow and minimise the risk of later complications. This study aims to harness recent developments in blood flow modelling, magnetic resonance imaging and advanced blood flow analysis techniques to determine the factors that lead to complications in these children, thereby providing crucial information for improving treatment strategies.
