title: CADCS simulation of the closed-loop cardiovascular system.
abstract: A pulsatile simulator of the closed-loop cardiovascular system, designed to solve simulation, identification and control problems in a research and education context, is presented. Its implementation makes use of a command-driven interactive program for simulation of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The flexibility of the simulator is demonstrated by the results presented which refer to a basal steady-state circulatory condition as well as a transient induced by an abrupt change in peripheral resistance.
