Computational Cardiovascular Mechanics provides a cohesive guide to creating mathematical models for the mechanics of diseased hearts to simulate the effects of current treatments for heart failure. Clearly organized in a two part structure, this volume discusses various areas of computational modeling of cardiovascular mechanics (finite element modeling of ventricular mechanics, fluid dynamics) in addition to a description an analysis of the current applications used (solid FE modeling, CFD).

Edited by experts in the field, researchers involved with biomedical and mechanical engineering will find Computational Cardiovascular Mechanics a valuable reference.

Reviews for Computational Cardiovascular Mechanics: Modeling and Applications in Heart Failure

A strength of this [field guide] is its beautiful photographs, which will aid considerably efforts to identify unfamiliar species. Another useful feature is the inclusion of some woody plants as well as grasses and related species with inconspicuous flowers in addition to the wildflowers typically treated in field guides.
