Biofluid Mechanics Cardiovascular System

Biofliudics has gained in importance in recent years, forcing engineers to redefine mechanical engineering theories and apply them to biological functions. To date, no book has successfully done this. Biofliud Mechanics in Cardiovascular Systems is one of the first books to take an interdisciplinary approach to the subject. Written by a professor and researcher, this book will combine engineering principles with human biology to deliver a text specifically designed for biomedical engineering professionals and students.Cardiovascular products represent the largest dollar portion of the healthcare industry. Development of these devices requires dramatic innovation.This book combines engineering principles with cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology to show biomedical engineers how to design and implement arterial grafts, anastomosis devices, and Heart valves. Unlike other books on the subject, this one looks at the subject from an engineering perspective rather than a clinical one in order to appeal to the biomedical engineering audienceFunctional anatomy and physiology of the human heart Pressure-flow relationship in arteries, elastic properties of the arterial walls Application of imaging techniques on left ventricular dynamics Theoretical and experimental studies of pulsatile flow in large vessels
