Mathematical
models can be used to simulate the physiological and pathological behaviour
of the human cardiovascular system. This is made possible nowadays by the availability
of accurate clinical data (such as MRI, CT-scans, digital angiography) as well
as by the increase of powerful computational resources. In this talk I will
introduce some basic mathematical models and address several instances concerning
diagnostic analysis and computer aided medical planning.
