Abstract
The vascular system maintains the homeostasis by coordinating various transport phenomena- momentum, mass and the heat transfer- in the circulatory system. To understand the integrated view of dynamic equilibrium state, we need all the conventional macroscopic engineering, cellular and molecular approach. The integrated view of vascular system at multiple scales based on the multi-disciplinary approaches is referred to as vascular engineering. The vascular engineering aims to construct an integrated view, which comprises analysis, synthesis and medical applications. This book focuses on these three aspects of vascular engineering.
