Cardiovascular Biomechanics is a multidisciplinary field that studies the relationship between the mechanics, biology, and physiology of the cardiovascular system.

It uses a wide range of in vivo, ex vivo, in vitro, and in silico methods to investigate normal and pathologic functions of the heart and the blood vessels, develop new diagnostic and preventive therapies for cardiac and vascular disorders, and improve new devices and materials for surgical repair.

Cardiovascular biomechanics research often involves joint efforts of clinicians, engineers, material scientists, physiologists, and biologists working with bench-top, animal, and human data.
