Principles of Heart Valve Engineering is the first comprehensive resource for heart valve engineering and covers the definitive, state of the art technology. The chapters include a wide range of topics including engineering, biology, epidemiology, imaging and cardiovascular medicine focused on heart valves, therapies and how to develop safer and more durable artificial valves. It provides thorough foundational content covering the entirety of the field, and then moves through to applications, covering computational methods and modelling. It is suitable for an interdisciplinary audience, with contributions from bioengineers and cardiologists. It also includes coverage of valvular development and potential future development. The content in this book will help engineers to develop safer and more durable artificial valves. This book provides an opportunity for bioengineers to study all topics related to heart valve engineering in a single book written by experts Covers the depth and breadth of this interdisciplinary area of researchEncompasses a wide range of topics from basic science through to translational applications of heart valve engineeringContributions from leading experts in the field and heavily illustrated in color INDICE: 1.
