Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) including heart diseases, peripheral
vascular disease and heart failure, account for one-third of deaths
throughout the world. CVD risk factors include systolic blood
pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,
and diabetic status. Clinical trials have demonstrated that when
modifiable risk factors are treated and corrected, the chances of
CVD occurring can be reduced. This illustrates the importance of
this book's elaborate coverage of cardiovascular physiology by the
application of mathematical and computational methods.This book has
literally transformed Cardiovascular Physiology into a STEM
discipline, involving (i) quantitative formulations of heart
anatomy and physiology, (ii) technologies for imaging the heart and
blood vessels, (iii) coronary stenosis hemodynamics measure by
means of fractional flow reserve and intervention by grafting and
stenting, (iv) fluid mechanics and computational analysis of blood
flow in the heart, aorta and coronary arteries, and (v) design of
heart valves, percutaneous valve stents, and ventricular assist
devices.So how is this mathematically and computationally
configured landscape going to impact cardiology and even cardiac
surgery? We are now entering a new era of mathematical formulations
of anatomy and physiology, leading to technological formulations of
medical and surgical procedures towards more precise medicine and
surgery. This will entail reformatting of (i) the medical MD
curriculum and courses, so as to educate and train a new generation
of physicians who are conversant with medical technologies for
applying into clinical care, as well as (ii) structuring of MD-PhD
(Computational Medicine and Surgery) Program, to train competent
medical and surgical specialists in precision medical care and
patient-specific surgical care.This book provides a gateway for
this new emerging scenario of (i) science and engineering based
medical educational curriculum, and (ii) technologically oriented
medical and surgical procedures. As such, this book can be usefully
employed as a textbook for courses in (i) cardiovascular physiology
in both the schools of engineering and medicine of universities, as
well as (ii) cardiovascular engineering in biomedical engineering
departments worldwide.
