Hemodynamics is the study of the movement of blood within the circulatory system and the forces that govern this movement. It encompasses the principles of fluid dynamics as they apply to blood flow, pressure, and resistance within the blood vessels. Hemodynamics is critical for understanding the function of the cardiovascular system and is crucial in clinical settings, especially in assessing and managing conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and other cardiovascular disorders.
