Produktbeschreibung
Biomechanics of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque: From Model to Patient, First Edition, is the first comprehensive text to focus on important biomechanical studies conducted in the last decade that have increased our understanding of coronary atherosclerotic plaque initiation, growth, and rupture, as well as improving the design of medical devices and clinical interventions, including surgical procedures. The book provides students, researchers, engineers, clinicians, and interventional cardiologists with an overview of the main topics related to the biomechanics of atherosclerosis, in a single volume written by several experts in the field.

This volume is part of the Biomechanics of Living Organs book series. The biomechanics of human soft tissues and organs has been an emerging research field since the publication of Y.C. Fung's original book series in the 1990s. The publication of such books entirely dedicated to a specific biomechanical subject is necessary to advance scientific research in the field of biomechanics and to transfer important knowledge to future generations. Therefore, this series of volumes on the biomechanics of living organs has been created. This series began in July 2017 with the publication of a first volume on the fundamentals of Hyperelastic Constitutive Laws for Finite Element Modeling of Living Organs. The current volume on the Biomechanics of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque, is the latest in this new series.
Autorenporträt
Jacques Ohayon is Professor of Mechanics at the Engineering school Polytech, Univ. Savoie Mont-Blanc, France. From 1985 to 1988, he was visiting fellow at the Biomedical Engineering Branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda MD, USA. He received the 1998 Junior Prize of the French Biomechanics Society (SB) for his research on the biomechanics of the left ventricle. His current research focuses on the biomechanics of atherosclerotic plaque and the development of new clinical tools for imaging the elasticity of vulnerable plaques. From 2006 to 2007, he was visiting professor at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering at the NIH, USA. Jacques Ohayon was the Chairman of the SB, which also awarded him the Senior Prize in 2016 for his work on the biomechanics of coronary plaque rupture. In 2020, he was a visiting professor at Texas A & M University and conducted his research in the field of endothelial cell mechanobiology at the Houston Methodist Research Institute (HMRI). Since 2020, he is also Adjunct Professor of Cardiovascular Sciences at HMRI, Texas, USA.
