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: 1.1 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 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: 0.0002 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: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

The contractions of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart maintain the blood flow through the body's organs, including the coronary arteries which nourish the contracting and relaxing heart muscle. The effects of fluid and mass transport inside the muscle on the LV mechanics and coronary flow are demonstrated through the model simulation of the LV response to a step change in blood osmolality and the blockage of the lymphatic outflow. An integrated LV model, that takes into account the myocardial mechanics, the coronary flow, and the fluid and mass transport, is used in the analysis. The results show that fluid and mass transport have important effects on the myocardial mechanics and the coronary flow.
