Abstract

Cardiac diseases remain a major cause of ill health and death in our society and thus advancements in current clinical therapies are of significant importance. Due to the aging population and epidemic situation of obesity, the increase in incidence of heart diseases spurs forth the market for therapeutic systems that are computationally based and dedicated to the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The shift in computing and flow visualisation technology for cardiac diagnosis has been reported. As such, there will be an increasing demand for Computational Haemodynamic analysis techniques to facilitate the prognosis and diagnosis of a failing heart. Haemodynamic parametrical studies have the potential for clinical study of cardiac patients. The framework can be used to diagnose pre- and post- surgical treatments. In particular, fluid mechanical flow quantification can be adequately documented from simulated cardiovascular flow for diagnosis of the heart, cardiac flow analysis and medical imaging provides an alternative approach to characterize cardiac abnormalities. Future research will look at combining numerical simulations and various medical imaging devices or therapies, and building a more concise report on physiological abnormalities.
