Cardiology Science and Technology comprehensively deals with the
science and biomedical engineering formulations of cardiology. As a
textbook, it addresses the teaching, research, and clinical aspects
of cardiovascular medical engineering and computational cardiology.
The books consists of two sections. The first section deals with
left ventricular (LV) wall stress, cardiac contractility,
ventricular remodeling, active wall stress and systolic pressure
generation, and vector cardiogram characteristics, with
applications in cardiology. The second section covers ECG signal
analysis for arrhythmias detection, LV pumping (intra-LV, aortic
and coronary flow) characteristics, and coronary bypass surgery
design, with applications in cardiology and cardiac surgery. This
book is like an exciting train ride through the heart and into
blood flows within its chamber, the coronary tree, the aorta, and
finally into coronary flow and bypass grafting. The train starts
from the heart's central station and journeys through exciting
places of heart wall stresses, cardiac contractility measures to
characterize heart failure, and active stress generation to develop
systolic heart pressure. We learn about cardiomyopathic heart
remodeling and its surgical ventricular restoration, theory of ECG
and vector cardiogram with medical applications, and heart rate
variability signal processing to detect cardiac arrhythmias. In the
heart chamber, we witness the amazing intricate intra-ventricular
flow patterns. Then, we study pressure pulse wave propagation into
the aorta, determination of pulse wave velocity and arterial
elasticity as a measure of arteriosclerosis. We climb into the
mountainous coronary terrain and look at the fascinating scenery of
coronary flows and myocardial perfusion that governs cardiac
contractility. Finally, we arrive at coronary bypass grafting and
witness the new sequential anastomosis design for enhanced patency.
This fascinating journey helps us to fully appreciate cardiology
from the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
viewpoint. The book represents what can be termed as computational
cardiology, and hence belongs to the emerging field of
computational medicine.
