Computational Analysis of Coronary and Ventricular Hemodynamics

Call for Papers

Computational method has appeared as an important tool for the prediction, diagnosis, and therapeutic methods of cardiovascular diseases with advances in mathematical methods, modeling technology, and computing power. Computational analysis of coronary and ventricular hemodynamics is for the interdisciplinary field of cardiac physiology, system engineering, fluid dynamics, and computer science, where physiologists, physicists, and computer scientists can publish their work.

In this special issue, all the areas of computational analysis of coronary and ventricular hemodynamics will be covered and it is also aimed at enhancing the communication between experimental hemodynamics research and computational work. We particularly take an interest in manuscripts about development of new computing methods, and their application to coronary and ventricular hemodynamics such as lumped model and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in coronary arteries and ventricle. A review paper that summarizes the results of computational studies of coronary and ventricular hemodynamics is also welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Lumped model of coronary arterial system
• CFD analysis of coronary and ventricular hemodynamics
• Experimental or clinical studies of coronary and ventricular hemodynamics
• Multiscale model for coronary and ventricular hemodynamics
