Left Circularory Network with Reduced Avolio Model [1/4].

The circulatory network consists of the left atrium and the ventricle (implemented as descibed in "Ventricular Numerical Modelling [1]" section) connected by mitral valve (MV). the ventricle is connected to ascending aorta section by aortic valve (AV).

Left Circularory Network with Reduced Avolio Model [2/4].

In this elecrical analogue the left atrial activity is implemented using the numerical model described in the "Atrial Numerical Modelling [1]" section.  The ascending aorta and the aortic arch are modelled with RLC elements, left brain, right brain and arms are modelled with resistances and compliances. Systemic venous circulation is divided in two compartments implemented with RC elements. LAP (LVP) is the left atrial (ventricular) pressure, AoP is the aortic pressure. Mitral and aortic valves are modelled with resistances and diodes.

Left Circularory Network with Reduced Avolio Model [3/4].

Aortic arch (II) and intercostal circulation compatment is implemented with two resistances (RCHEST1 and RARCA2), an inertance (LARCA2) and a compliance (CARCA2). Three comparments are used to reproduce the behavior of thoracic and intercostal circulation, each compartment is modelled with two resistances (RCHEST and RTHOR), one inertance (LTHOR) and one compliance (CTHOR). Hepatic circulation is implemented with resistance (RLIV) and compliance (CLIV).

Left Circularory Network with Reduced Avolio Model [4/4].

The abdominal circulation is divided in two branches both modelled with RLC elements. Two kidney compartments reproduces the left and right kidney circulation; both comparments are implemented with RC elements: RLKUI and CLKUY for left circulation and RRK and CRK for right circulation. The behavior of legs and lower mesenteric circulation is simulated with two resistances (RCDI and RPDI) and one compliance (CDI).
