Modelling pulse wave propagation in the rabbit systemic circulation to assess the effects of altered nitric oxide synthesis

Abstract Pulse wave propagation in the mature rabbit systemic circulation was simulated using the one-dimensional equations of blood flow in compliant vessels. A corrosion cast of the rabbit circulation was manufactured to obtain arterial lengths and diameters. Pulse wave speeds and inflow and outfl...
