Simulating transient ventricular interaction using a minimal cardiovascular system model
Structured PICO
P
Population
Canine experiments studying the transient response of the left ventricle due to changes in right ventricle pressures and volumes
I
Intervention
Minimal closed-loop cardiovascular system (CVS) model
C
Comparator
Experimental results from canine experiments
O
Outcome
Model-simulated trends in left and right ventricle pressures and volumes, septum deflection and arterial flow rates compared with experimental resultssurrogate
A minimal closed-loop cardiovascular system model successfully simulated transient ventricular interactions, proving its value for understanding ventricular dynamics.
Limitations
- Limited physiological data available describing the animals
