Biofluid Mechanics: Blood Flow in Large Vessels

This book contains 87 papers of the 1989 Symposium on mechanical aspects of blood flow and cardiovascular disease. In the first section clinical studies deal with questions such as heart valve replacement surgical bypass techniques, ultrasound studies in humans and animals, the reaction of pharmaceuticals, and the role of hemodynamic reaction on the endothelial cells. In the second section experimental techniques such as ultrasound, laser-Doppler-anemometry, MRI, and flow visualization are ...
