OverviewAI-generated summary

Neil B. Ingels has conducted research focused on cardiovascular function, particularly the mechanics and dynamics of the left ventricle and mitral valve.

His work has involved investigating how intrathoracic pressure affects left ventricular performance and analyzing the relationship between different modes of left ventricular shortening and torsional deformation in transplanted human hearts. Ingels has also studied the measurement of midwall myocardial dynamics in humans using surgically implanted radiographic markers, as well as the exercise response of denervated hearts in long-term cardiac transplant recipients. Further research has explored alterations in left ventricular twist mechanics with inotropic stimulation and volume loading, the deformational dynamics of the aortic root, and geometric distortions of the mitral valvular-ventricular complex in chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation. He has also evaluated methods for quantifying left ventricular segmental wall motion using myocardial markers.

Ingels holds a designation as a highly cited researcher. He has collaborated with Morten Ø. Jensen, Sam E. Stephens, Alexis P. Applequist, and Hanna Jensen, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, on multiple publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 53, 231 total publications, and 9,038 total citations.
