This work presents a developed zero-dimensional cardiovascular (CV) system model, based on an electrical analogy, with a detailed compartmental description of the heart and the main vascular circulation which is able to simulate normal and diseased conditions of CV system, especially the stenosis valvular aortic. To know the effect of each parameter on hemodynamics, the number of parameters is increased by adding more segments. The developed model consists of 14 compartments. The results show that the severity of aortic stenosis (AS) effect varies with the effective orifice area and the mean pressure gradient for the case of no AS; the effective orifice area is 4[Formula: see text]cm2 and the mean pressure gradient is 0[Formula: see text]mmHg, while for the case of mild AS, the effective orifice area is 1.5[Formula: see text]cm2 and the mean pressure gradient is 27.24[Formula: see text]mmHg. For the case of moderate AS, the effective orifice area is 1.0[Formula: see text]cm2 and the mean pressure gradient is 44.68[Formula: see text]mmHg. For the case of the severe AS, the effective orifice area is 0.61[Formula: see text]cm2 and the mean pressure gradient is 77.51[Formula: see text]mmHg. It is found that the developed model can estimate an accurate value of the effective orifice area for any value of mean pressure gradient in AS. The results obtained for the CV system under normal and diseased conditions show a good agreement compared to published results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
