Abstract
The most important goal of this study is to enhance our understanding of the crucial functional relationships that determine the behavior of the systemic circulation and its underlying physiological regulatory mechanisms with minimal modeling. To the present day, much has been said about the indirect hydraulic effects of right atrial pressure (PRA) via cardiac output (CO) on arterial pressure (Pa) through the heart and pulmonary circulation or the direct regulatory effects of PRAon Pathrough the cardiopulmonary baroreflex; however, very little attention has been given to the hydraulic influence that PRAexerts directly through the systemic circulation. The experimental data reported by Guyton et al. in 1957 demonstrated that steady-state PRAand the rate at which blood passes through the systemic circulation are locked in a functional relationship independent of any consequence of altered PRAon cardiac function. With this in mind, we emphasize the analytic algebraic analysis of the systemic circulation composed of arteries, veins, and its underlying physiological regulatory mechanisms of baroreflex and autoregulatory modulation of total peripheral resistance (TPR), where the behavior of the system can be analytically synthesized from an understanding of its minimal elements. As a result of this analysis, we present a novel mathematical method to determine short-term TPR fluctuations, which accounts for the entirety of observed Pafluctuations, and propose a new cardiovascular system identification method to delineate the actual actions of the physiological mechanisms responsible for the dynamic couplings between CO, Pa, PRA, and TPR in an individual subject.
