Vortex Formation in the Cardiovascular System will recapitulate the
current knowledge about the vortex formation in the cardiovascular
system, from mechanics to cardiology. This can facilitate the
interaction between basic scientists and clinicians on the topic of
the circulatory system. The book begins with a synopsis of the
fundamentals aspects of fluid mechanics to give the reader the
essential background to address the proceeding chapters. Then the
fundamental elements of vortex dynamics will be discussed,
explaining the conditions for their formation and the rules
governing their dynamics. The main equations are accompanied by
mathematical models. Cardiovascular vortex formation is first
analyzed in physiological, healthy conditions in the heart chambers
and in the large arterial vessels. The analysis is initially
presented with an intuitive appeal grounded on the physical
phenomena and a focus on its clinical significance.In the
proceeding chapters, the knowledge gained from either clinical or
basic science literature will be discussed. The corresponding
mathematical elements will finally be presented to ensure the
adequate diligence. The proceeding chapters ensue to the analysis
of pathological conditions, when the reader may have developed the
ability to recognize normal from abnormal vortex formation
phenomenon. Pathological vortex formation represents vortices that
develop at sites where normally laminar flow should exist, e.g.
stenosis and aneurisms. This analysis naturally leads to the
interaction of vortices due to the surgical procedures with respect
to prediction of changes in vortex formation. The existing
techniques, from medical imaging to numerical simulations, to
explore vortex flows in the cardiovascular systems will also be
described. The presentations are accompanied by the mathematical
definitions can that be understandable for reader without the
advanced mathematical background, while an interested reader with
more advanced knowledge in mathematics can be referred to
references for further quantitative analyses. The book pursues the
objective to transfer the fundamental vortex formation phenomena
with application to the cardiovascular system to the reader. This
book will be a valuable support for physicians in the evaluation of
vortex influence on diagnosis and therapeutic choices. At the same
time, the book will provide the rigorous information for research
scientists, either from medicine and mechanics, working on the
cardiovascular circulation incurring with the physics of vortex
dynamics.
