Cardiac Perfusion and Pumping Engineering

Shows how cardiac perfusion and pumping can be quantified and correlated. This book is a resource for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and clinicians. For students, it is a textbook for senior-level courses in cardiovascular engineering.

For the first time, this invaluable book shows how cardiac perfusion and pumping can be quantified and correlated. Self-contained and unified in presentation, the explanations in the compendium are detailed enough to capture the reader's curiosity and complete enough to provide the background material to explore further into the subject. Mathematically rigorous and clinically oriented, the book is a major resource for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons and clinicians. For students, it is an ideal textbook for senior-level courses in cardiovascular engineering.
