Abstract

Various steady models for interaction between heart and arterial system have been given in literature. In our recent study, a dynamic principle, i.e. the principle of least cardiac work is proposed, and a dynamic model for interaction of heart and arterial system is established. Preliminary results of our experiments show that both the principle and the model are consistent with the physiological phenomena. It reveals that the present analysis may offer a new measure for the study of dynamic process of interaction between heart and arterial system.
