One-Chamber Heart Model

What is this model?

This model models the ventricular volume in the heart over the course of a series of heartbeats. The diagram within the model shows the movement of blood through the heart ventricle, aorta, and body tissues as a result of several variables including venous pressure, viscosity, and systolic and diastolic pressure.

What can this Model be used to teach?

Understand the effect of the parameters on the ventricular volume

Understand the effect of the parameters on the venous flow

Consider the effect of systolic and diastolic pressure on mean arterial pressure
