Synopsis "Vascular Hemodynamics: Bioengineering and Clinical Perspectives"
The only complete work on vascular hemodynamicsRecently, vascular hemodynamics has undergone major advances,resulting from increasingly sophisticated imaging, computational,and clinical research methodologies. The effects of these advancesare likely to be profound at both the scientific and clinicallevels. Now, Vascular Hemodynamics provides a self-containedtreatment of this rapidly advancing topic as it relates to vasculardisease and related pathologies in the human body.Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach encompassing engineering,vascular biology, vascular imaging, and clinical practice, the bookprovides a survey of the basic science and clinical research inhemodynamics of the vasculature. The topics presented involvesophisticated modeling, imaging, and measurement techniques. Thetext emphasizes both the technical and clinical aspects of thefield.Additionally, Vascular Hemodynamics:*Includes a wide variety of models of vascular pathology, includingphysical models, finite-element models, linear-system models,transmission-line models, and dye-dilution models*Discusses diverse pathologies of the large vessels, themicrovasculature, and the systematic vasculature*Brings together a range of imaging modalities related tohemodynamics*Includes both introductory-level and research-oriented material oneach topicVascular Hemodynamics is the only single-text treatment of thisimportant topic, making it a vital reference for researchers andstudents of bioengineering, radiology, vascular surgery, neurology,nephrology, cardiology, and oncology.
