Table 1.

List of identified parameters and corresponding measurements used to identify them for the simplified systemic, simplified pulmonary, and six-chamber models. Each line on the table represents a measurement/parameter pair, where the measurement on the line is used to directly identify the corresponding parameter. All the parameters in this table, except for the valve resistances, are uniquely identified for each set of measurements. The valve resistances are identified for each set of measurements and then averaged for a subject.
