Title
The effect of chordae tendineae on systolic flow.
Abstract
When using Computational Fluid Dynamics to simulate ventricular blood flow in the heart, it has been common practice to neglect the effect of the sub-valvular apparatus and the trabeculae on the flow conditions. In this study, we analyze the effect of neglecting the chordae tendineae on the fluid flow and pressure drop. To test the assumption we use a previously developed dynamic 3D model of the left ventricle, aorta and valves that is based on 3D echocardiographic recordings. To this model we add the chordae tendineae as a sub-grid model.
