Abstract

The left ventricular mechanical model and the circulation model are important for the cardiovascular dynamics simulation that consider the characteristics of the ventricular cells and the structure of left ventricle (LV). Due to the fact that the cardiovascular dynamics is the result of nonlinear interactions between these two models, simultaneous consideration of both models using a strong coupling method is necessary for an accurate simulation. In this paper, we propose a simulation algorithm that is capable of calculating cardiovascular dynamics model by strong coupling of the left ventricular mechanical model and the circulation model.
