Computational cardiology is the scientific field devoted to the development of methodologies that enhance our mechanistic understanding, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. In this regard, the field embraces the extraordinary pace of discovery in imaging, computational modeling, and cardiovascular informatics at the intersection of atherogenesis and vascular biology. This paper highlights existing methods, practices, and computational models and proposes new strategies to support a multidisciplinary effort in this space. We focus on the means by that to leverage and coalesce these multiple disciplines to advance translational science and computational cardiology. Analyzing the scientific trends and understanding the current needs we present our perspective for the future of cardiovascular treatment.
计算心脏病学是一个致力于发展方法学的科学领域,这些方法学可以增强我们对心血管疾病的机械理解、诊断和治疗。在这方面,该领域涵盖了动脉粥样硬化和血管生物学交叉点成像、计算建模和心血管信息学的非凡发现速度。本文重点介绍了现有的方法、实践和计算模型,并提出了新的策略,以支持这一领域的多学科努力。我们专注于利用和融合这些多个学科的手段,推进转化科学和计算心脏病学。通过分析科学趋势和了解当前需求,我们为心血管治疗的未来提出了自己的观点。
