Vascular hemodynamics rounds: bioengineering and clinical perspectives

Vascular hemodynamics is becoming recognized as having a central role in the field of medicine and has recently undergone major advances with respect to the development of disease models, computational fluid dynamics models, clinicalhemodynamics instrumentation, and clinical research findings. This is the only complete book on this topic, providing readers with a clear and comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of and recent advances in the field of hemodynamics as it relates to vascular disease states in the human body.
