Biomaterials and Devices for the Circulatory Systems


Overview

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and Europe. With increasingly obese populations within the developed world, the trend looks set to continue. An essential read for those concerned with the repair and regeneration of the circulatory system, this book provides a comprehensive review of biomaterials and devices for use in the circulatory system. Initial chapters discuss fundamental considerations, such as tissue response to implanted materials and device biocompatibility, while later chapters cover pertinent technologies that include nanotechnology and biosensor technology.
