The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

SINOPSIS

This work combines a number of diverse disciplines (physiology, biomechanics, fluid mechanics, and simulation) in order to develop a predictive model of the behavior of a prosthetic heart valve in vivo. The application of simulation to the study of other cardiovascular problems, such as blood clotting, is also discussed. A commercial, finite volume, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code (ANSYS/CFX) is used for the three-dimensional (3D) component of the model. A multiscale approach is taken to produce a model of left ventricular function, from the level of the contractile proteins to the resulting ventricular pressure, to provide detailed boundary conditions for the 3D CFD model. We present results from the 3D model and discuss their implications in the context of the cavitation potential of the valve. The results suggest that the use of this approach allows us to address complex cardiovascular problems in greater detail and in a more physiologically orientated manner.
