Cardiovascular dynamics is a field in which modelling and systems
analysis have formed an extremely important discipline. For
example, understanding of even such a fundamental function of the
circulation as the relationship between central venous pressure apd
cardiac output has required evolution of a pertinent model based on
years of exhaustive ex perimental investigations by Starling,
Starr, and Guyton. Hemodynamic analyses of pulsatile pressures and
flows in the arteries and veins have been a continuing challenge
taken up by champions of fluid dynamics such as Frank, Wetterer,
Taylor, and Wormersley, just to mention a few names, and some kind
of model was always proposed as a conceptual framework. An even
greater challenge to cardiovascular dynamicists was how to analyze
the intermittent coupling of the ventricle and the arterial or
venous vasculature through the valve. The availability of numerical
solutions by computer and the recently evolved ventricular model
with a time-varying elastance and a pressure-dependent internal
resistance opened the way to analysis of this coupling. The ever
increasing speed of computers has also facilitated trips between
the fre quency and the time domain, even on-line for some
experimental studies. This book contains many analyses dedicated to
the interactions between the heart and the vasculature, providing
the reader with findings at the cutting edge of current research in
this field."
