This book provides a guiding thread between the distant fields of
fluid mechanics and clinical cardiology. Well rooted in the science
of fluid dynamics, it drives the reader across progressively more
realistic scenarios up to the complexity of routine medical
applications. Based on the author's 25 years of collaborations with
cardiologists, it helps engineers learn communicating with
clinicians, yet maintaining the rigor of scientific disciplines.
This book starts with a description of the fundamental elements of
fluid dynamics in large blood vessels. This is achieved by
introducing a rigorous physical background accompanied by examples
applied to the circulation, and by presenting classic and recent
results related to the application of fluid dynamics to the
cardiovascular physiology. It then explores more advanced topics
for a physics-based understanding of phenomena effectively
encountered in clinical cardiology. It stands as an ideal learning
resource for physicists and engineers working in cardiovascular
fluid dynamics, industry engineers working on
biomedical/cardiovascular technology, and students in bio-fluid
dynamics. Written with a concise style, this textbook is accessible
to a broad readership, including students, physical scientists and
engineers, offering an entry point into this multi-disciplinary
field. It includes key concepts exemplified by illustrations using
cutting-edge imaging, references to modelling and measurement
technologies, and includes unique original insights.
