Baroreceptor_Lu_et_al_2001

Model number
0075

The model simulates baroreceptor function by changing heart rate, ventricular contractility, and arterial resistance in response to an input aortic pressure signal.

Description

  The model simulates baroreceptor function by changing heart rate, ventricular 
  contractility, and arterial resistance in response to an input aortic pressure 
  signal. No circulatory model is present, and the input aortic pressure curve is 
  taken from the literature (Stergiopulos 1999). An aortic pressure curve follower 
  variable (PaopFOL) is used to set the aortic pressure time-derivative.

  The model was first implemented by Lu et al. (2001) and was based on work by 
  Wesseling and Settles (1992). An aortic pressure waveform from Stergiopulos et al. 
  (1999) is used as input to the baroreceptor pathway.  There is no circulatory 
  model present, and the aortic waveform remains unchanged by the resulting heart 
  rate, ventricular contractility and arterial resistance values.
