Computer analysis of external counterpulsation by use of a nonlinear mathematical model of the cardiovascular system

W Ohley et al. Med Instrum. 1976 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A pressure system externally applied to the limbs of a patient has been proven effective in assisting circulation in animal and clinical studies. In this study a nonlinear mathematical model of the cardiovascular system is utilized to determine the effectiveness of high-frequency components in the external pressure waveform. The development of the model, the method of analysis, and the results acquired with the model are presented in this report, demonstrating its suitability for the study of external counterpulsation.
