Bulletin of Mathematical Biology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A mathematical model is developed in state variable form suitable for the study of the control of blood pressure and flow in the mammalian cardiovascular system. The applicability of the model to steady state, both mean and pulsatile, and transient phenomena is demonstrated by the agreement of the results with experimental data. This model was developed to study the neural and renal-endocrine-electrolyte control of cardiovascular functions.
