Linear Systems Analysis Applications in the Study of Arterial Hemodynamics

In recent years, the applications of linear systems analysis techniques have become increasingly valuable in the study and understanding of the arterial hemodynamics. The aim of this paper is to review these concepts as applied to the characterization of pressure-flow relationships in the ascending aorta.
