An updated Cardiovascular Simulation Toolbox

In this paper we present a simulation based on circuits with an updated version of the Cardiovascular Simulation Toolbox proposed by O. Barnea et al. at Tel-Aviv University. The library was originally implemented in MATLAB/Simulink R14 and included several lumped parameter models capable to obtain the hemodynamic parameters of a healthy person. We have developed a new version of the library, compatible with MATLAB/Simulink® R2011a. Based on the original model of the healthy system, we develop a new simulation of the cardiac cycle and hemodynamic parameters for a person with systolic heart failure.
