Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) require new solutions. Cardiovascular Information and Health Engineering Medicine (CVIHEM) uses data to improve vascular health and patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Health Informatics
Background:
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent a significant global health challenge.
- Effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies for CVDs are urgently needed.
- Vascular health is intrinsically linked to the development and progression of CVDs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce Cardiovascular Information and Health Engineering Medicine (CVIHEM) as an innovative approach.
- To outline the framework for collecting, analyzing, and translating multidimensional vascular data.
- To address unmet clinical needs in early and efficient CVD management.
Main Methods:
- Systematic and efficient acquisition and translation of vascular information.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration for data analysis and strategy development.
- Application of engineering medicine principles to cardiovascular health.
Main Results:
- Enhanced understanding of the complex vascular network.
- Development of innovative strategies for promoting vascular health.
- Integration of artificial intelligence for data-driven decision-making.
Conclusions:
- CVIHEM offers a novel, data-centric approach to cardiovascular health.
- The framework supports targeted therapies and personalized vascular health management.
- This engineering medicine paradigm promises improved clinical outcomes for CVD patients.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
