Should not alter clinical management; extends lumped-parameter modeling for further investigation.
In this work, the lumped parameter model of the left heart is presented. It is based on the concept of the time-varying elastance of myocardium and includes the model of the heart valve dynamics. Comparison of the models with instant and smooth valve opening and closing is given, as well as simulations of pathologies such as mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency are addressed.

Sergey Simakov (2019) studied Mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency (simulated). Lumped parameter model of the left heart with smooth valve dynamics vs. Model with instant valve opening and closing was evaluated on Simulation of heart valve dynamics and pathologies. A lumped parameter model of the left heart incorporating smooth valve dynamics successfully simulated pathologies such as mitral valve stenosis and aortic valve insufficiency.
