Cardiovascular Applications

Combating the World’s Leading Cause of Death with In Silico Solutions

With more than 30 percent of all deaths attributed to cardiovascular diseases, the healthcare industry invests massively in heart disease prevention and treatment. Using the power of in silico technologies, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical developers, and clinicians can advance cardiac care faster and safer than ever before. 

 

Optimize Cardiovascular Treatments with Simulation

Understanding the fluid-structure-electrophysiology interactions (FSEI) of the heart is essential for treating conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and valve diseases, and for determining how medical devices and pharmaceuticals affect the heart’s behavior. The healthcare industry uses in silico technologies, such as computational modeling and simulation (CM&S), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins, to better understand these behaviors and develop life-saving devices and treatments for cardiac pathologies. By creating validated, multiphysics models of the heart, cardiac devices, and drug interactions, innovators can design, optimize, and test safe cardiovascular treatments.

Minimize Blood Damage

High shear stress induced by artificial blood pumps or valves may irreparably damage blood cells, potentially endangering the patient. Simulation delivers the insight required to innovate device design and reduce damage.
