Advances in Blood Flow Quantification Methods for Diagnosis, Monitoring, Prediction, and Personalized Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease explains how abnormal hemodynamics (blood flow dynamics) greatly alter the cardiovascular system’s ability to transport, control and maintain blood flow throughout the body. These deviations often lead to the initiation and progression of disease. Notably, hemodynamic quantification can be extremely useful for accurate and early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Particularly, the ability to monitor and predict hemodynamic effects following specific interventions can significantly broaden lifesaving options. However, image-based computational modelling of predictive hemodynamics analysis methods (and therefore new diagnostic tools) are rare. By extending quantitative methods of analysis, medical professionals can foresee effects of various cardiovascular interventions, allowing for optimized, situation-based care.Advances in Blood Flow Quantification Methods for Diagnosis, Monitoring, Prediction, and Personalized Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease posits that novel, image-based computational modelling hemodynamic analysis tools will enable the next generation of diagnosis, predictive, and treatment planning resources for cardiovascular disease. Readers will become well-versed in recent advances in hemodynamic approaches, while preparing themselves for the next wave of revolutions in cardiovascular health.Presents a comprehensive integration of cardiovascular disease within the context of hemodynamicsDelves into the latest advanced diagnostic and predictive tools to leverage hemodynamics for cardiovascular disease diagnosis and predictionEmphasizes the application of hemodynamics in creating personalized treatment plans and interventions, exploring how individualized data-driven insights can guide therapeutic decisions and interventions

It provides state-of-the-art information for the health-care professional working in heart valve clinics, heart teams, and centers of excellence that specialize in managing patients with heart valve disease.
