Simulation of the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart

Abstract: We developed a lumped parameter, computer-based model of an equivalent electronic circuit for a one-atrium one-ventricle (frog) heart attached to a vascular circuit, to simulate a basic concept of cardiovascular physiology, the Frank-Starling Law of the Heart. A series of simulations was performed, to observe changes in cardiovascular variables (e.g., arterial pressure, ventricular volume, and valve flows) if either preload or afterload was increased. The simulated data agreed qualitatively, and quantitatively… Show more

“…1 In recent years, more and more studies have showed that goaldirected fluid therapy (GDFT) can provide individual treatment for patients, preventing perioperative patients from potentially hypervolaemia or hypervolaemia and reducing complications or mortality. According to Frank-Starling's curve, 2 the preload of the ventricle is proportional to the cardiac output (CO) in the raising stage. However, if the preload reaches the platform stage, fluid therapy would not yield the desired effect but result in cardiac overload and tissue oedema.…”
