Multiscale model of the human cardiovascular system: Description of heart failure and comparison of contractility indices.
Mathematical Biosciences(2017)
Abstract
•A new multiscale model of the human cardiovascular system is described.•Healthy and pathological behaviors are correctly accounted for by this model.•Among four cardiac contractility indices, the end-systolic elastance is the least reliable.•The maximum time derivative of left ventricular pressure is the most reliable index of cardiac contractility.
