Introduction • Cardiovascular disturbances difficult to diagnose • Masked by reflex response • Disease scenarios, clinical history, quick diagnosis experience, intuition • Physiological, identifiable, validated computer model • FE methods • PV methods, specific CVS function • Minimal cardiac model – primary parameters • Model drug treatment fast forward simulations, set up the maths right standard PC, palm pilot
Full Model • Event solver, computationally heavy, many combinations
Heaviside formulation Filling: Q1 valve doesn’t shut Q1 valve shuts inertia Contraction: Q2 valve opens open on pressure • Ejection and relaxation, similar
Simpler Heaviside formulation small transient Q2 Q2
Ventricular Interaction • Has no direct solution • Solve for Vspt every time step very slow approximation Vspt,old
Results • Simulate healthy human • Computational times
Results • New method versus first Heaviside (20 heart beats) • New method 19 beats + first Heaviside 1 beat versus first Heaviside 20 heart beats
Results • Comparing the accuracy of the new method
Conclusions • New method 24 times faster • No loss in accuracy • Clinically, simulate large number of treatments • Future work – non-linear D.E’s piecewise linear D.E’s piecewise analytical solutions standard PC or palm pilot, real time • Human trials planned
