Offers an electrical analog for aortic hemodynamics in animals; leaves open translation to human physiology or practice.
The normal aorta and its branches function analogously to a low-pass electric tuned circuit resonating at 3 to 6 c.p.s., transforming the ventricular ejection pulse.
Spencer et al. (1958) studied this question.
