About Cardiovascular Implantable Devices
Cardiovascular is the study related to the circulatory system that includes functioning of heart and blood vessels (artery,capillaries,veins and veinule),oxygen transport ,carbon dioxide and waste elimination ,blood pumping,Circulatory loops(pulmonary circulation loop and Systemic circulation loop),Coronary circulation,Hepatic portal circulation,heart chambers,heart valves,auricle and ventricle,blood(RBC,WBC,Platelets,plasma). Cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of death in most of the developed countries.In cardiovascular applications biomaterials can be used as heart valves,cardiac pacemaker, stent grafts,vascular grafts,blood vessel prostheses that improves cardiac function. These are biocompatible and non hazardous to human body.
