Cardiovascular Flow Modelling and Measurement with Application to Clinical Medicine (Institute of Mathematics and its Applications Conference Series)

This book is an attempt to bridge the widening gap between bioengineering, cardiovascular and clinical science and practice. It is based on a conference that included flow modelling in arteries and bypass grafts, concepts of fluid dynamics and turbulence in the system, and heomorheology and haemodnamics exploring factors that play a role in coronary circulations. This is a collection of papers from leaders in each of these and related fields and will be of major importance to anyone working in the mathematical or medical professions as an up-to-date treatment on the study of biological systems and their mathematical descriptions.

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
