Mathematical modeling and sensitivity analysis of arterial anastomosis in arm arteries

چکیده
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major problems in medicine today and the number of patients increases worldwide. To find the most efficient treatment, prior knowledge about function and dysfunction of the cardiovascular system is required and methods need to be developed that identify the disease in an early stage. Mathematical modeling is a powerful tool for prediction and investigation of cardiovascular diseases. It has been shown that the Windkessel model, being based on an analogy between electrical circuits and fluid flow, is a simple but effective method to model the human cardiovascular system. In this paper, we have applied parametric local sensitivity analysis (LSA) to a linear elastic model of the arm arteries, to find and rank sensitive parameters that may be helpful in clinical diagnosis. A computational model for end-to-side anastomosis (superior ulnar collateral anastomosis with posterior ulnar recurrent, SUC-PUR) is carried out to study the effects of some clinically relevant haemodynamic parameters like blood flow resistance and terminal resistance on pressure and flow at different locations of the arm artery. In this context, we also discuss the spatio-temporal dependency of local sensitivities. The sensitivities with respect to cardiovascular parameters reveal the flow resistance and diameter of the vessels as most sensitive parameters. These parameters play a key role in diagnosis of severe stenosis and aneurysms. In contrast, wall thickness and elastic modulus are found to be less sensitive.

Presentation of a Non-invasive Method of Estimating Arterial Stiffness by Modeling Blood Flow and Arterial Wall Based on the Determination of Elastic Module of Arterial Wall
Introduction: Arterial stiffness is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. Several indices have been introduced to estimate the arterial stiffness based on the changes in the brachial blood pressure. Since the substitution of the blood pressure changes in the central arteries such as carotid with the blood pressure changes in the brachial results in error in the blood...
