Figure 3

Comparison of the transient pressures at the four inlet vessels: (a) LICA, (b) RICA, (c) LVA, and (d) RVA. For each inlet vessel, pressure curves from the experiment and the five outlet boundary condition sets are plotted. ZP zero pressure, SP symmetrical pressure, DEP direct experimental pressure, WM Windkessel model, PM phase modulation. For the experiment, begin and end of the diastolic phase are depicted with dashed vertical lines for each inlet artery.
