Opis

This book deals with the bioengineering models of heart function, with applications in cardiology and cardiac surgery. It consists of two sections. The first covers left ventricular (LV) wall stress, cardiac contractility, ventricular remodeling, active wall stress and systolic pressure generation, and vector cardiogram characteristics, with app
