Abstract

Kardiovaskularne bolesti su bolesti srca i krvnih žila. Zabrinjavajuća je sve veća količina oboljelih ljudi od ovog tipa bolesti. Biomaterijali se koriste za izradu kardiovaskularnih uređaja te kirurških instrumenata. Moraju zadovoljiti niz svojstava kako bi uređaj, odnosno instrument mogao izvršavati svoju funkciju. Najvažnije svojstvo je svojstvo biokompatibilnosti. Postoje prirodni i sintetički biomaterijali. Sintetički biomaterijali korišteni u kardiovaskularnoj medicini su metali i njihove legure, polimerni biomaterijali, biokeramika te kompozitni biomaterijali. Znanstvenici ne prestaju s pronalaskom novih vrsta biomaterijala s poboljšanim svojstvima. Pritom su korištene nove vrste tehnologija, kao što je to nanotehnologija. Najčešći proizvodi u kardiovaskularnoj medicini izrađeni od biomaterijala su stentovi, srčani zalisci, kateteri, kućišta raznih ugradibilnih uređaja itd.

Abstract (english)

Cardiovascular diseases are diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The swift increase in the e amount of people getting sick by cardiovascular diseases is very concerning. Biomaterials are used for designing cardiovascular devices and surgical instruments. They must fulfill a lot of different requirements to function properly in the human body. Their most important characteristic is their biocompatibility with the living body. There are natural and synthetic biomaterials. Synthetic biomaterials used in cardiovascular medicine are metals and their alloys, polymer biomaterials, bioceramics, and composite biomaterials. Scientists are constantly searching for new types of biomaterials with improved characteristics while new technologies are used, e.g., nanotechnology. Common products made from biomaterials in cardiovascular medicine are stents, artificial heart valves, catheters, housing of the implantable devices etc.
