Abstract of the PhD project: Cardiovascular diseases are a major point of concern in the medical field over the last few decades because of a constant increase in the number of people affected by it. There has been an increasing use of numerical simulations and experimental investigations to understand the hemodynamics of cardiovascular vessels on patient-specific basis. The general purpose of the research activity is to apply the concept of Augmented Digital Twins in the hemodynamic field on patient-specific level. It consists in using digital clinical in-vivo data with Computational Fluid-Dynamic (CFD) simulations and in-vitro experiments. These techniques are already validated in the research field, but they have found minimal applications in the hospitals because of the high computational costs and the need of a special figure to carry out the CFD and experimental studies. For this reason, the workflow developed should be simple to use by the doctors, and the results need to be reliable to reduce gradually the existing gap between clinical and engineering approaches. The case of study consists in patient-specific thoracic aorta and carotids and the research is done in a collaboration between University of Pisa and Monasterio, BioCardioLab, Bioengineering Unit at Heart Hospital of Massa.
