Modeling cardiovascular hemodynamics
Session Outline
· Revision of basic principles of biofluid mechanics;
· The hemodynamic hypothesis: hemodynamics as risk factor of vascular disease;
· From clinical images to computational hemodynamics: integration of clinical imaging inside an in silico framework;
· Towards subject-specific computational hemodynamics: assumptions, limitations, uncertainties;
· Validation/verification of in silico approaches and clinical image settings;
· Examples of model-based predictions of blood flow in arterial districts;
