Overview
The Mechanics of Transcatheter and Surgical Heart Valves: A Guide for Engineers and Clinicians focuses on the fundamental principles of heart valve mechanics, providing a detailed picture of the pros and cons of current devices in the context of their biomechanics, biomaterials, patient complications, and their regulatory and fabrication aspects. The book covers methods and applications that will help readers innovate and design new cardiovascular technology. It is ideal for designers, testers and manufacturers, anyone working in the biomaterials industry on coatings or fabrication materials, or those researching mechanics and heart valve biology.

Author Information
Lakshmi Prasad Dasi is with the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Surgery, and Physiology & Cell Biology at The Ohio State University. He has published over more than 100 journal articles, conference papers, and patents. His current research interests include prosthetic heart valves, cardiovascular biomechanics, and fluid dynamics. Prof. Dasi is also on the editorial board of the Annals of Biomedical Engineering Journal. Dr. Hoda Hatoum obtained her Ph.D. degree from the Ohio State University (OSU). Currently, she is a post-doctoral researcher in the biomedical engineering department at OSU. Her research has focused on tackling the complexity of heart valve biomechanics (native and prosthetic), patient-specific aortic root model development and in-vitro testing, prosthetic heart valve engineering (conventional & trans-catheter), structure-function relationships of the heart in health and disease; and turbulence in blood flow in relation to blood damage. So far, dr. Hatoum has published 12 peer-reviewed journal papers spanning both clinical and bioengineering journals and given 17 conference presentations at national and international conferences. Dr. Hatoum is the Principal Investigator of a post-doctoral grant from the American Heart Association to conduct research on the implementation of super-hydrophobicity on medical devices. She has received several recognitions including an invited talk at the Heart Valve Society, and the Presidential Graduate Fellowship from OSU.
