Representation of Cardiac Pump with Special Reference to Afterload

  • Chapter
Book cover Cardiovascular System Dynamics

Abstract

The purpose of my presentation is to review the recent evolution of the ventricular pump model based on a time-varying elastance. It so happens that the major point of the current debates lie in the afterload characteristics of the real ventricle and the models. Therefore, I would first discuss the definition of afterload and then the characteristics of various models in comparison with the ventricular responses to alterations in afterload.
