Key result
Applying biofluid mechanics to the cardiovascular system requires knowledge of anatomy, geometry, pressure, blood flow, volume, and velocity measurements.
Biofluid mechanics principles are essential for understanding cardiovascular hemodynamics, such as evaluating biological and mechanical heart valves.
A fluid is a medium which deforms, or undergoes motion, continuously under the action of a shearing stress and includes liquids and gases. Applying biofluid mechanics to the cardiovascular system requires knowledge of anatomy and geometry, pressure data and blood flow, volume and velocity measurements. A good example is the assessment of the haemodynamics of biological and mechanical heart valves.
