The simulation of cardiovascular system for physiology study

Abstract

© 2014 IEEE. In this simulation, the cardiovascular model was developed base on the physiological study. The parameter identification and validation was done with physiological data using Matlab/Simulink. This study has adopted the principle differential equation using analog-lump parameter model. The wave forms such as pressure, volume and flow in cardiovascular system were simulated. The simulation of cardiovascular system for physiology study was composed of three main parts: 1) heart,2) systemic vascular system and 3) the pulmonary vascular system, all of the system through mapping the physiological parameters to the electrical analog elements (resistor, capacitor and inductor and diode) for the characteristic of the system in normal and pathophysiological conditions. From simulation, the physiological waveforms showed that the pressure, volume and flow were estimated when compared with general information published in physiological reports. These results also indicate the possibility of the application of cardiovascular system model for using in the physiological studying.
