Table 1 The closed-loop model parameters are listed with their corresponding symbols and units. The same parameters are used to describe the open-loop model except for \(C_{sv}\) and \(V_{tot}\)
Symbol | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
\(C_{ao}\) | Systemic arterial compliance | \(\mathrm {\frac{mL}{mmHg}}\) |
\(C_{sv}\) | Systemic venous compliance | \(\mathrm {\frac{mL}{mmHg}}\) |
\(E_{max}\) | Maximal left ventricular elastance | \(\mathrm {\frac{mmHg}{mL}}\) |
\(E_{min}\) | Minimal left ventricular elastance | \(\mathrm {\frac{mmHg}{mL}}\) |
\(R_{mv}\) | Mitral valve resistance | \(\mathrm {\frac{mmHg \ s}{mL}}\) |
\(R_{sys}\) | Total peripheral resistance | \(\mathrm {\frac{mmHg \ s}{mL}}\) |
T | Heart period | s |
\(t_{peak}\) | Time of peak ventricular elastance | s |
\(V_{tot}\) | Total stressed blood volume | mL |
\(Z_{ao}\) | Characteristic impedance of the aorta | \(\mathrm {\frac{mmHg \ s}{mL}}\) |
