“…Mock circulatory systems can be also used to test stents, anastomoses, vascular grafts, prosthetic heart valves and artificial blood vessels, as well as to assess models for hemodynamic predictions after vascular access surgery (e.g., for hemodialysis patients). Some systems have been even designed as loads for real pumping hearts [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72]. Finally, there are many studies in which pulse pressure has been investigated from a biomechanical point of view .…”

“…Despite the system showed acceptable reproducibility and repeatability, data consistency and stability still needed to be assured. Another experimental flow loop mimicking the cardiovascular system circuit was designed by Vilchez-Monge et al [67]: the simulated circuit contained the right side of the heart, simulated arteries and veins. In order to monitor both pressure and flows, the authors inserted an absolute pressure sensor with a response time of 1 ms and accuracy of ±2.5% with respect to the FS voltage, and a flow meter with ±3% accuracy, with a measurement range from 1 to 30 L•min −1 .…”

Arterial simulators are a useful tool to simulate the cardiovascular system in many different fields of application and to carry out in vitro tests that would constitute a danger when performed in in vivo conditions. In the literature, a thriving series of in vitro experimental set-up examples can be found. Nevertheless, in the current scientific panorama on this topic, it seems that organic research from a metrological and functional perspective is still lacking. In this regard, the present review study aims to make a contribution by analyzing and classifying the main concerns for the cardiovascular simulators proposed in the literature from a metrological and functional point of view, according to their field of application, as well as for the transducers in the arterial experimental set-ups, measuring the main hemodynamic quantities in order to study their trends in specific testing conditions and to estimate some parameters or indicators of interest for the scientific community.
