The effects of smooth muscle activation on the pressure dependence of arterial wall
characteristic impedance were studied with isolated segments of canine iliac and carotid …

After a brief review of the venous wall structure, the physical properties of veins are
discussed in terms of their stress-strain relationships. In contrast to the high pressure arterial …

Experiments on 12 anesthetized dogs were performed to study the effects of changes in
blood volume on the pulsatile hemodynamics of the arterial system as seen from its input …

Simultaneous measurements of pressure and flow have been made in the vessels of the
aortic arch in chloralose-anesthetized dogs under three conditions; control, cardiac …

The validity of hemodynamic theories developed for the arterial tree is examined with
respect to their applicability to the venous system. The Navier-Stokes and continuity …

The wall shear rate was measured in the abdominal aorta of dogs under the influence of
vasoactive drugs to examine the effects of altered hemodynamics of the local fluid …

The concept of a system as developed by the control systems engineer has been primarily
aimed at relatively small ensembles ofdeterministically connected and well-defined …

The feasibility of measuring the individual input impedance in each primary arterial input to
intracranial structures was examined in the anesthetized dog. From a Fourier analysis of …

In addition, the local blood flow is directly dependent on the arterial pressure. The local
resistance to flow, on the other hand, is also influenced by the sympathetic activity, which in …

This chapter deals with some of the problems inherent in the development of predictive
models designed for the use of decision makers, particularly in the areas of medicine and …
