| Abstract | The Pulse Pressure Method (PPM) is a reliable iterative technique to estimate total (and segmental) arterial compliance. However, due to the necessity of simultaneous aorta pressure and flow wave measurements, the application of the method is restricted to animal studies or specific clinical conditions that allow aorta flow measurements. The authors therefore propose an extended Pulse Pressure Method (EPPM) where the flow wave is restricted by a triangular wave reconstructed from cardiac output. Both the PPM and EPPM are validated on an in vitro model of the arterial tree. The model is a 1:1 scale representation of the aorta including the major branches to the head, upper and lower limbs, and abdominal organs. It contains 37 elastic tapering tubes, made of natural latex rubber (1 MPa). The model is connected to a pulse duplicator system of the human left heart to provide the model of normal (or pathological) pulsatile inflow. Downstream 28 vascular beds are the interface to the venous side, with individually adjustable resistances and compliances. This allows the simulation of physiological and pathological conditions. The EPPM and PPM are tested on a normal configuration (total compliance C=1.40 ml/mmHg, total resistance R=0.73 mmHg/ml/s, mean arterial pressure MAP=65 mmHg, cardiac output CO=5.1 l/min) and a pathological configuration (C=0.29 ml/mmHg, R=2.34 ml/mmHg, MAP=75 mmHg. CO=1.9 l/min). Heart rate is 60 beats per minute in all cases. For both conditions the PPM is found to be accurate and reproducible (0.29/spl plusmn/0.02 ml/mmHg for the stiff and 1.42/spl plusmn/0.04 ml/mmHg for the compliant model). The EPPM slightly underestimates total arterial compliance (0.27/spl plusmn/0.03 ml/mmHg and 1.37/spl plusmn/0.06 ml/mmHg for the pathological resp. normal case). The EPPM thus weakens the tight restrictions of the PPM and renders the method less invasive. It is also illustrated that the in vitro model is a useful tool for haemodynamic studies, and suitable to validate invasive and non-invasive clinical research protocols. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
