Abstract
The structure of a new system for monitoring the state of the human cardiovascular system based on geometric and biomechanical models of the vascular bed as a branching tree of arteries is presented. The tree geometry was obtained by averaging the data of postmortem measurements on five bodies, a statistical analysis of the patterns of the structure of vascular trees, and a new technique for generating an individual tree for a particular patient by performing several in vivo measurements. The developed biomechanical model allows numerical calculations of pressures and blood flow velocities in each artery, storing information in a database, analyzing the distribution of blood volumes, calculating important diagnostic indices, identifying pathologies and planning surgical operations in silico.
