Classical but effective techniques for estimating cardiovascular dynamics

This article first describes the effectiveness and the limitations of classical approaches based on linear models for the cardiovascular system. The authors then introduce their own work on less-invasive and real-time estimation of cardiac output flow and pump function in the clinical setting. It is shown that system identification techniques using linear models can yield unexpectedly accurate results useful for patient care.
