Abstract
A simplified analogue computer model of the human cardiovascular control system is developed in this paper. This model can be adjusted to reproduce the response of a subject to a submaximal work-load. The validity of the model is evaluated and suggestions for its further development are included.
Sommaire
Un modèle simplifié du système de régulation du système cardiovasculaire chez l'homme est présenté dans cet article. Ce modèle peut être adapté pour fournir les réponses d'un sujet soumis à des conditions submaximales. On donne une estimation de la validité du modèle ainsi que diverses suggestions pour de nouveaux développements.
Zusammenfassung
In dieser Mitteilung wird ein vereinfachtes Analogrechnermodell des menschlichen kardiovaskulären Kontrollsystems gegeben. Das Modell kann auf die Eigenschaften einer Versuchsperson bei submaximaler Arbeitslast angepaßt werden. Die Gültigkeit des Modells wird untersucht. Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung werden gemacht.
