Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular physiology
  • Computational modeling
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Mathematical modeling aids in extracting physiological data from complex cardiovascular experiments.
  • Accurate simulation of the cardiovascular system is crucial for understanding heart function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To reproduce systemic and coronary measurements from in vivo pig experiments using a computer simulator.
  • To validate a lumped parameter model of coronary circulation within a larger cardiovascular model.

Main Methods:

  • Monitored coronary blood flow, aortic pressure, and ventricular pressure/volume in pigs.
  • Developed a cardiovascular simulator (CARDIOSIM) with a multi-branching coronary model and lumped parameter systemic/pulmonary circulation models.
  • Simulated Starling's law using a variable elastance model.

Main Results:

  • Presented comparable left ventricular pressure-volume loops between experimental and simulated data during caval occlusion.
  • Demonstrated successful reproduction of coronary flow-aortic pressure loops and instantaneous coronary blood flow waveforms.
  • The model accurately replicated the profound shape deformation of the coronary flow signal observed in vivo.

Conclusions:

  • The lumped parameter model effectively reproduces cardiovascular changes during caval occlusion.
  • The coronary loop shape can serve as a sensor for ventricular mechanics in various conditions.
  • This model offers a novel tool for investigating determinants of myocardial perfusion.
