Hemodynamics in CHD: mechanical regulation of congenital heart defects

Abstract

This is the periodic report for the HEMODYNAMICS IN CHD project, which received funding under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The project will be applying the techniques developed in to a well established animal model for a severe CHD, hypoplastic left heart syndrome, to dissect the contribution of blood flow related forces on this disease. The report includes images generated to study embryonic development of congenital heart defects.
