Abstract
The study of hemodynamics is crucial for diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease (CVD), which has become the leading cause of death globally among noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and accounting for over half of all NCD-related mortalities (with 20.5 million CVD-related deaths in 2021). Fundamental assessments of heart function in clinics such as blood pressure, blood flow rate and heart rate, are essential components of the hemodynamic-based analysis. Given the increasing incidence of CVD worldwide, the necessity for advanced medical procedures and highly trained personnel has become paramount. Efforts towards educating and training healthcare professionals are essential to ensure better management of CVD, reduce mortality rates, and improve the overall quality of cardiovascular care globally.
In this thesis project, a user-friendly and compact cardiac hemodynamics simulator (EMILY) was developed in collaboration with the company Mouzee S.R.L., aimed at training medical staff in surgical interventions and enhancing their surgical skills
