Overview
- Dynamics, of fluid or solid objects, is a branch of physics, engineering, and applied mathematics and, as yet, it is not a branch of medicine
- Coronary heart disease, on the other hand, is a branch of medicine that, as yet, does not include the dynamics of coronary blood flow
- This book is dedicated to bridging these two seemingly disparate ends
- No other book found approaches either topics in this way
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering (BIOMEDICAL)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is an in-depth study of the dynamics and physics of coronary blood flow … . The author who is an engineer/mathematician spares no details and is very, very thorough in his exposition. … I would like to commend the author for providing many helpful figures and flow charts to ease the transition from concepts to mathematics and beyond. … you will enjoy it for its content and retain it as a valuable reference." (H. W. Vayo, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 g)
"This book is devoted to the study of a very complex subject – the dynamics and physics of coronary blood flow – which the author defines as the blood flow to the heart for its own metabolic needs. … This book deserves high praise. The clarity of its writing and the sequence and demonstrated mastery of the contents make it ‘an easy to read’ and ‘an easy to understand’ fascinating text. I strongly recommend it to all researchers in the field and to all libraries." (Harold Ramkissoon, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1121 (23), 2007)
