title: [Hemodynamics study of cardiovascular system in vitro simulation].
abstract: In order to study the cardiovascular hemodynamic characteristics and evaluate the blood pump, we made a series of cardiovascular simulation devices which could reflect the hemodynamics of blood circulation system by the elastic chamber model, and tested the relations between cardiovascular hemodynamic parameters (such as systole pressure, diastole pressure, average pressure, pulsative pressure, flow rate) and ventricular afterload (peripheral resistance and vascular compliance) as well as cardiac output, diastolic period, systole period and preload. The effect of the parameters on the arterial pressure and flow rate was estimated when any one of the parameters was changed. The result of simulating experiment was coincided with that deduced from mathematical model and physiologic condition. Therefore the series of cardiovascular simulation devices can reflect the hemodynamics of blood circulation.
