[Mathematical model of transcapillary metabolism in patients with mitral valve insufficiency]

Application of a mathematical model of microhemocirculation enabled one to assess quantitatively the magnitude of transcapillary albumin metabolism and total hydraulic resistance of metabolic vessels, as well as the effect of geometric, biophysical and hemodynamic parameters on transport characteristics of the capillaries. Dramatic changes in transcapillary metabolism and in blood rheologic properties are classified with factors that determine the occurrence of postoperative complications in patients with mitral valve failure.
