This book deals with the bioengineering models of heart function, with applications in cardiology and cardiac surgery. It consists of two sections. The first covers left ventricular (LV) wall stress, cardiac contractility, ventricular remodeling, active wall stress and systolic pressure generation, and vector cardiogram characteristics, with applications in cardiology. The second covers ECG signal analysis for arrhythmias detection, LV pumping (intra-LV, aortic, and coronary flow) characteristics, and coronary bypass design, with applications in cardiology and cardiac surgery. This book is like an exciting train ride through the heart and into blood flows within its chamber, the coronary tree, the aorta, and finally into the coronary bypass grafting. This fascinating journey helps us to fully appreciate cardiology from the STEM viewpoint. This book can be deemed to represent computational cardiology, and hence belongs to the emerging field of computational medicine.
