The patient’s activity directly affects the state of the cardiovascular system (CVS). One of the mechanisms contribute to the regulation of the arterial blood pressure is the baroreflex. It is maintains an optimal level of the arterial pressure as a response to changes in the patient’s activity. The model developed in this work simulates CVS at the different patient’s activity levels. The model of baroreflex reproduces changes that occur during an increasing level of patient’s activity. The correlation between heart rate (79 bpm –rest, 123 bpm – exercise) and cardiac output (5.1 l/min –rest, 8.2 l/min – exercise) was achieved. The developed model can be used for personal modelling of various states of the CVS. The model parameters possible to apply for individual patient characteristics. For further development, the model can be integrated with the ventricular assist device during the heart failure state in order to study interactions in the biotechnical system.
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.
