Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Modeling and simulation technology has gained more and more attention and gradually is applied in fields of military drills, industrial tests and medical tests. Of them, there are various professionals have emerged in studies on medical cardiovascular system.
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the simulation method of cardiovascular system.
METHODS: Databases of PubMed, VIP and CNKI were searched for the articles concerning the cardiovascular modeling and simulation published from 1974 to 2018 with the keywords of “cardiovascular system, modeling simulation, the heart model” in English and Chinese, respectively. The modeling methods and simulation types of cardiovascular system, and application of cardiovascular simulation in coronary heart disease, valvular disease, heart failure, hypertension and myocardial infarction were summarized, and then made prospects.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: According to the clinical, medical teaching and research needs, the summary includes: (1) The hemodynamic model of coronary circulatory system simulates the coronary circulatory system in the case of coronary heart disease, which solves the problem of invasion and expensive const. Moreover, it is of great significance for the early diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease. (2) The mitral valve three-dimensional simulation model analyzes the stress distribution of the mitral valve. The simulation is more elaborate in the geometric structure, which can improve the treatment scheme and indirectly reduce the risk of surgery. (3) The cardiovascular system focuses on the many electrical network models, which helps further understand the clinical analysis and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. (4) The three-dimensional finite element mechanical model of human left ventricle simulates the electrical excitation and myocardial infarction in myocardial infarction, and can guide the clinical practice. (5) We comprehensively summarize the modeling and simulation of cardiovascular system, which contributes to further understanding the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, and is of great significance for the prevention, auxiliary diagnose and clinical treatment of cardiovascular disease.
