Software and data for PhD thesis of Juliet Nagawa

FEM Models.zip

  • Biventricular cardiac model input files (Abaqus, Dassault Systèmes, Providence, USA) of six PPCM patients to simulate five cardiac cycles (active contraction and passive filling). Six models per patient: No LVAD support, LVAD support with speeds of 8k to 12k.
  • Refer to thesis chapters 2 and 3.

FEM Strain and stress.zip

  • Myocardial strain and stress results from FEM models.
  • Refer to thesis chapters 2 and 3.

FEM Volume and pressure.zip

  • Ventricular volume and pressure parameters from FEM models.
  • Refer to thesis chapters 2 and 3.

Statistical analysis.zip

  • Matlab and R files for statistical analysis of PPCM demographics and cardiac function dataset
  • Refer to thesis chapter 4, sections 4.2.2.

ANN.zip

  • Matlab and Python programs used to develop machine learning algorithms and developed machine learning models.
  • Refer to thesis chapter 4, sections 4.2.3 and 4.2.4.

Each archive file contains more detailed descriptions of the content as text files.
