Course Syllabus
Aims
To provide the concepts necessary for understanding modeling and simulation tools for the cardiovascular system.
Contents
The clerkship will cover the most important aspects related to theoretical models of cardiovascular fluid mechanics. Students will acquire the basic knowledge required to investigate blood flow distribution and the role of physical parameters in cardiovascular function.
Detailed program
1) Simplified theoretical models of cardiovascular fluid mechanics.
2) Boundary conditions and physical properties of biological tissues.
3) Practical use of software simulator for blood and cardiac flow.
