This review summarizes scientific findings from three European Commission FP7 projects. The first, ARTREAT (2008-2013), focused on a multi-level, patient-specific model of artery and atherogenesis for outcome prediction, treatment decision support, and virtual hands-on training. An original method for plaque formation and development was created an...
