After introducing the basic concepts of engineering tools, it discusses modelling and the applications of engineering techniques (e.g. computational fluid dynamics, fluid-structure interaction, structural simulations, virtual surgery, advanced image analysis, 3D printing) in specific congenital heart diseases. It also offers a number of clinical case studies describing the applications in real-life clinical practice. The final section focuses on the importance of surgical training, counselling and patient communication.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eConsidering the unique anatomical arrangement pre\/post repair in CHD, as well as the different surgical strategy and device options (e.g. stents) for interventions, a patient-specific approach is certainly warranted in this area of medicine, and engineering is helping improve our understanding of individual patients and their particular anatomy and physiology.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo reinforce the idea of a necessary dialogue between clinicians and engineers, this book has not only been edited by two cardiologists and two bioengineers, but each chapter has been written by a clinician and an engineer, incorporating both voices in the description of state-of-the-art models for different CHDs. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-04-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030888916\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-88892-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385610297484,"sku":"9783030888916","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030888916.jpg?v=1776054291","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030888916","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
