Abstract

The more significant concepts and applications of ventricular and aortic dynamics are covered in this review. Mathematical models, consistent with physiological phenomena, are presented, together with their approximations and limitations. The above mentioned discussions lead to the consideration of the applications of models to invasive, possible noninvasive diagnostic techniques, and circulatory assist devices. Even with this restricted scope which neglects biochemical and neural phenomena, no claim is made for completeness other than the inclusion of many relevant references. 193 refs.
