“…The non-dimensional ratio R s / R d of the two envelope constants is known as the envelope ratio ( ER ) [ 21 , 37 ]. The systolic IF parameters (ω 1 , φ 1 , R s ) are dominated by the dynamics of the coupled LV-arterial system, whereas the diastolic IF parameters (ω 2 , φ 2 , R d ) are dominated by the dynamics of just the arterial network [ 23 , 24 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 38 – 41 ]. Fig 1B illustrates details about the above-mentioned mathematical reformulation through a visualization of ω 1 , ω 2 , φ 1 , φ 2 , R s and R d during the systolic and diastolic phases.…”
