Large vessels as a tree of transmission lines incorporated in the CircAdapt whole-heart model: A computational tool to examine heart-vessel interaction
Fig 6
Left ventricular- and aortic blood pressure tracings simulated using, on the one hand, the CircAdapt model with the systemic circulation lumped into a non-linear three-element windkessel model (3WK) and, on the other hand, CircAdapt with the systemic circulation represented by transmission lines (TL).
Pressure tracings are given for the normotensive (REF–3WK and REF–TL, respectively) and hypertensive situation (HYP–3WK and HYP–TL, respectively).
