title: [Hydrodynamic stands for testing assisted circulation and artificial heart apparatus].
abstract: Problems arising in devising the assisted circulation apparatus and artificial heart can be solved only with investigations conducted on hydrodynamic models of the circulation system--the stands. An analysis of literature sources dealing with test stands justifies their classification according to the purpose, the types of tests, the specific structure and basic characteristics. It is necessary to proceed with further improvement of the stand equipment in the direction of creating a sufficiently accurate imitation of the anatomic structure and resilient properties of major arteries and veins, of constructing a geometrical and elastic model of the aorta, of pressure and flow control instruments at different points of the vessels, of the ones regulating the energy parameters, as well as of working out criteria for effectiveness of the devices to be used.
