Cardiovascular and Respiratory Bioengineering focuses on computational tools and modeling techniques in cardiovascular and respiratory systems that help develop bioengineered solutions. The book demonstrates how these technologies can be utilized in order to tackle diseases and medical issues. It provides practical guidance on how a bioengineering or medical problem can be modeled, along with which computational models can be used. Topics include computer modeling of Purkinje fibers with different electrical potential applied, modeling of cardiomyopathies caused by sarcomeric gene mutations, altered sarcomere function, perturbations in intracellular ion homeostasis, impaired myocardial energetics at reduced costs, and more. The book also discusses blood flow through deformable blood vessels in human aorta, abdominal aortic aneurysm, carotid artery, coronary artery and plaque formation, along with content on stent deployment modeling and stent design and optimization techniques. Features practical applications of cardiovascular and respiratory technology to counteract diseases Includes detailed steps for the modeling of cardiovascular and respiratory systems Explores a range of different modeling methods, including computational modeling, predictive modeling and multi-scale modeling Covers biological processes and biomechanics relevant to cardiovascular and respiratory bioengineering INDICE: 1.
