Non-linear analysis of arterial pressure

Abstract

A macroscopic nonlinear mathematical model of simulation of the different mechanisms that participate at long, medium and short term in the arterial pressure regulation is described.In order to establish the availability and usefulness of this model two types of conditions were simulated.The first ones were compared to the results obtained in live experiments in dogs and the other ones were referred to the data from clinical research.This model makes possible both the qualitative and quantitative appreciation of the sequence of physiological events whenever a disturbance modifies the normal conditions in the control of the arterial pressure.This model is easy to handle in both clinical and experimental applications since it does not require the knowledge of computer handling for its operation.
