Finite element modelling and simulations in cardiovascular mechanics and cardiology: a bibliography 1993-2004

The paper gives a bibliographical review of the finite element modelling and simulations in cardiovascular mechanics and cardiology from the theoretical as well as practical points of views. The bibliography lists references to papers, conference proceedings and theses/dissertations that were published between 1993 and 2004. At the end of this paper, more than 890 references are given dealing with subjects as: Cardiovascular soft tissue modelling; material properties; mechanisms of cardiovascular components; blood flow; artificial components; cardiac diseases examination; surgery; and other topics.
