Alicja Siewnicka, Bartłomiej Fajdek, Krzysztof B. Janiszowski · 2012
This paper presents an application of a numerical pack-age for modeling and simulation of human circulatory system. The model includes a coronary circulation and the parallel heart assistance. The cases of the simulation of the proper and the pathology circulation conditions, such as left or right heart failure are shown. A descrip-tion of the coronary circulation system is presented and obtained coronary sinus occlusion simulation results are included. An implementation of the whole package as a part of PExSim application is contained. The identifica-tion experiment for the ventricular assist device has been described and different methods of the artificial ventricle modeling are presented. An example of use of a fuzzy logic to presentation the dynamics of the POLVAD de-vice is also included. Advantages of developed simula-tion platform are discussed.
