Fighting Cardiovascular Diseases with in silico Solutions

Computational modeling and simulation (CM&S) of cardiovascular devices and their working environment — the human body and heart — is the most promising way to accelerate and amplify medical innovation while limiting the risk for the patients through in silico research, in silico testing, and in silico clinical trials.

Ansys simulations go beyond an advanced cardiovascular system model by using multiscale, multiphysics simulations in a suite of connected tools to provide a complete and pragmatic solution.
