Figure 9. Samples of hemodynamic waveforms for ring experiment.

a) Samples of aortic input flow waves at HR = 60 bpm and CO = 5 L/min for setup 3 (ring experiment). b) Samples of aortic input pressure waves at HR = 60 bpm and CO = 5 L/min for setup 3 (ring experiment). Since our LV simulator acts more as a flow source, the alterations from control case are insignificant in flow waves. However, the alterations from the control case in pressure waves are rather significant.
