Abstract

Mathematical modeling of the cardiovascular system is useful in quantifying system-level responses to external and internal perturbations, which are challenging to achieve in clinical studies. Most existing cardiovascular models are closed-loop systems and do not take into account the fluid and electrolyte exchanges and the body-fluid homeostasis. We propose a new system-level ...
