Table IV.
Contribution from the current cardiac cycle, the first (I), second (II), third (III), fourth (IV) and fifth (V) previous cycles, and the outflow pressure (Pout) to the pressure waveform (P) at the aortic root of the single-vessel aortic model (Figure 10(a)) and in vivo Rabbit 8 (Figure 10(b)).
Cardiac cycle | Single-vessel aorta | Rabbit in vivo |
---|---|---|
Current | 41.9 | 27.0 |
I | 25.7 | 17.4 |
II | 14.3 | 7.3 |
III | 8.4 | 3.0 |
IV | 4.0 | 1.3 |
V | 2.5 | 0.5 |
Pout | 0 | 43.0 |
Each contribution is quantified using pw, as described in Section 3.9.2, and is expressed in % relative to the area under P.
