Advanced Topics and Future Trends

We now look forward by considering the latest research capabilities. Significant progress in computational modelling has been made in the last few decades. These advances along with increased computational power will further enable modelling realistic physiological scenarios of haemodynamic flows. The material presented in this book thus far serve as an introduction to some of the current trends and modeling achievements, and in this chapter we present the latest developments of some research fields of haemodynamics including microflow analysis of blood, medical imaging for flow analysis, advanced medical devices, and heart valves.
