In the most common form of heart disease there is a disruption in this flow because of obstructive disease in the vessels that carry the flow. The subject of coronary blood flow is therefore associated mostly with the pathophysiology of this disease, rarely with dynamics or physics. Yet, the system responsible for coronary blood flow, namely the \"coronary circulation,\" is a highly sophisticated \u003cem\u003edynamical\u003c\/em\u003e system in which the dynamics and physics of the flow are as important as the integrity of the conducting vessels. While an obstruction in the conducting vessels is a fairly obvious and clearly visible cause of disruption in coronary blood flow, any discord in the complex dynamics of the system can cause an equally grave, though less conspicuous, disruption in the flow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is devoted specifically to the \u003cem\u003edynamics and physics\u003c\/em\u003e of coronary blood flow. While relevance to the clinical and pathophysiological issues is clearly maintained, the book approaches the subject from a biomedical engineering point of view.
