Model parameters for one‐dimensional segments of the cardiovascular model (see Fig. 4 B)
| L (cm) | A 0 (cm2) | c 0 (cm/s) | P 0 (mmHg) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVot | 1 | 7.2 | 900 | 90 |
| AoRt | 1 | 7.2 | 900 | 90 |
| SA | 40 | 7.2 → 5.0 | 900 → 1286 | 90 |
| SV1 | 10 | 6 | 150 | 4.5 |
| SV2 | 5 | 6 | 150 | 4.5 |
| RVot | 1 | 7.1 | 250 | 14 |
| PA | 5 | 7.1 → 10.6 | 250 | 14 |
| PV | 5 | 10 | 150 | 8.5 |
L is segment length. A 0, c 0 and P 0 are reference cross‐sectional area, wave speed and pressure. Abbreviations: LVot, left ventricular outflow tract; AoRt, aortic root proximal to the coronary ostia; SA, systemic artery; SV, systemic vein (two segments separated by a venous valve); RVot, right ventricular outflow tract; PA, pulmonary artery; PV, pulmonary vein. Arrows indicate linear tapering from proximal to distal values.
