Synopsis:

The course introduces into a description of the human blood circulation and advanced methods are sued to explain biomechanical parameters known for healthy individual. The most frequent pathologies and their therapeutic techniques are also explained.

Anatomy of the circulatory system

Physiological principles of the circulation

Mechanics of the heart

Arterial mechanics

Mechanics of veins

Hemodynamics

Propagation of pressure pulse wave

Diseases in cardiovascular system I (atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, ischemia)

Diseases in cardiovascular system II (valvular diseases, cardiomyopathy, infarction, aneurysm, dissection)

Constitutive modeling of the heart and blood vessels I

Constitutive modeling of the heart and blood vessels II

Mechanical engineering contribution to cardiovascular therapy I (stent, stent-graft, arterial prostheses)

Mechanical engineering contribution to cardiovascular therapy II (valvular prostheses, heart substitutes)
