Abstract
Some of our recent fundamental computational biomechanical studies of the cardiovascular system, from modeling aortic flow to the microscale dynamics of the platelet, are discussed. It is emphasized that a living system inherently needs multi-scale, multi-physics analysis, and the rapid advancement of the biological sciences must also be incorporated in computational biomechanics studies. Based on these efforts, it is now expected that a computational biomechanics-based software system that can be applied to real clinical situations will be developed for the cardiovascular system. This will help medical practitioners to accumulate the fundamental data and clinical experience that they obtain from real patients, and use it to make quantitative predictions.
