Abstract:
Modern control theory allows the representation of cardiac dynamics in the state-space, describing the operation of the vascular systems in terms of the cushioning effect of the arterial wall facing compliance changes. In this paper we use state equations to modeling the effect of the compliance variations on the arterial wall. The characteristics of the dynamics and of the calculated parameters of the model allow the distinction of hypertensive and normotensive subjects, in accordance to real clinical data.
