Modeling the cardiopulmonary-arterial baroreflexes: pressure and volume control with clinical applications to hypovolemic stress
Abstract
The objective of this project ist to develop a physiologically based mathematical model of the cardiovascular system (CVS) that can be applied to stydy the short-term control of hypovolemic stress. Hypovolemic stress refers to disturbances to the DVS caused by the loss or sequestration of blood volume. Specifically, we propose to develop a model that can quantitatively reflect the interacteion to the cardiopulmonary and arterial baroreflexes which are key elements in the short-term response to hypovolemic stress.
