Integrative biomechanics: A paradigm for clinical applications of fundamental mechanics
Journal Article Journal Of Biomechanics · July 2009 Integrative biomechanics uses biomechanics knowledge and methods at multiple scales and among biological entities to address fundamental and clinical problems at the tissue and organ level. Owing to the large ranges of scale involved, integrative biomechan ... CiteCataloguing the geometry of the human coronary arteries: a potential tool for predicting risk of coronary artery disease.
Journal Article International journal of cardiology · June 2009 BackgroundThe non-uniform distribution of atherosclerosis in the human vasculature suggests that local fluid dynamics or wall mechanics may be involved in atherogenesis. Thus certain aspects of vascular geometry, which mediates both fluid dynamics ...
