Computer simulation of the coronary circulation: implications for models and therapeutic coronary sinus intervention

Article Abstract:

The pulsatile blood flow through the coronary circulation of the human heart has been represented by a simulation model, with classes of blood vessels being lumped together into compartments. Blood flow within the heart muscle was obtained by numerically solving coupled differential equations. The model was particularly designed to represent the venous side of coronary circulation. Several issues, important for the effectiveness of therapeutic coronary sinus interventions, have been the subject of simulation studies in the past. The present article intends to provide a concise summary and discussion of these otherwise dispersed results. In addition to the conclusions regarding therapeutic effectiveness, several general aspects of modeling the coronary blood flow are addressed. (Reprinted with the permission of the publisher.)

Ingredients of Professionalism

Article Abstract:

Professionalism can be thought to have a physical part: the person, tools, product, public, and society; and a mental part: expertise and responsibility. Professionals are expected to be skillful, highly motivated, and responsible. Society should actively promote the development of a sense of ethics in the professional.
