Abstract:
In this article, we aim at giving a non-technical overview of some mathematical models currently used in the numerical simulation of the cardiovascular system. A hierarchy of models for blood flows in large arteries is briefly described as well as an electromechanical model for the heart. We discuss some possible applications of the numerical simulations of such models, for example the optimization of prostheses. We also address the issue of the data assimilation for the calibration of the models.
