A Multi-Branched Model of the Cardiovascular System: Application to G- Research

Abstract

Heretofore cardiovascular system (CVS) models have been either too refined with applications only to special subsystems of the CVS, or too gross with only limited versatility due to their inadequate resolution. In this paper, we report on a multi-branched model of the complete CVS that bridges the gap between these two groups of models. This model, which is motivated by aviation and space research, extends the models of Avolio and Jaron.
