A Functional Cardiovascular Model with Disorders
2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005This paper introduces a functional model of the cardiovascular system that is capable of describing its behavior in normal as well as pathologic cases. The developed model includes all the main compartments of the circulatory system and also the baroreflex-feedback regulatory mechanism.

Models in researching cardiovascular morphogenesis
Birth Defects Research Part C: Embryo Today: Reviews, 2012AbstractSeveral types of “models” are used in modern biological and biomedical research and teaching. This article attempts to provide a brief explanation of the termini model organism, theoretic and mathematic model, three‐dimensional (3D) model, and 4D model, and an overview about the generation and the fields of applications of these types of models.

Conceptual Modeling of Cardiovascular Sounds
2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005In this paper, it is shown that the main source of mechanical energy of cardiovascular (CV) system i.e., rhythmic heart contraction is transformed to the oscillations of the CV walls and blood flow, and finally CV acoustical waves. These waves propagate through both blood flow (hemodynamical pathways) and tissues (viscoelastical pathways) toward the ...

Human Cardiovascular Model and Applications
Journal of Medical Systems, 2010Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can be known as a class of diseases which affect different parts of the cardiovascular system such as the heart or blood vessels. Hemodynamic signals are an important tool used by doctors to diagnose the type of CVD occurred in a patient. Diagnosing the correct type of CVD in a patient early will allow the patient to have

Optimization in Cardiovascular Modeling
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2014Fluid mechanics plays a key role in the development, progression, and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Advances in imaging methods and patient-specific modeling now reveal increasingly detailed information about blood flow patterns in health and disease.

Matriarchal Model for Cardiovascular Prevention
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1994Family patterns of cardiovascular risk behavior are well documented. Significant correlation exists between spouse-spouse, parent-child, and sibling-sibling for cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoprotein, diet, physical activity, and smoking. Family/environmental influences are important in how/if risk and/or preventive behavior is learned.

Zebrafish models of cardiovascular disease
Heart Failure Reviews, 2016Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The most significant risk factors associated with the development of heart diseases include genetic and environmental factors such as hypertension, high blood cholesterol levels, diabetes, smoking, and obesity.

Animal Models of Cardiovascular Disease
Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2009The use of animal models to study cardiovascular disease has made a substantial contribution to increasing our understanding of disease pathogenesis, has led to the development of diagnostic techniques, and has made it possible to verify the effectiveness of different preventative and therapeutic approaches, whether pharmacological or interventional ...

Modelling of the Cardiovascular System
2017This chapter introduces the process of modelling of the cardiovascular system. Modelling incorporates the representation of the fundamental mechanics of the cardiovascular system, as well as the determination of important features needed to ensure that the model captures the essential information relevant to the problem.

Rat Models of Cardiovascular Diseases
2009In cardiovascular research, the rat has been the main model of choice for decades. Experimental procedures were developed to generate cardiovascular disease states in this species, such as systemic and pulmonary hypertension, cardiac hypertrophy and failure, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
