Cardiovascular physiology and biomedical engineering are disciplines closely related with each other. Besides, understanding cardiovascular physiology, especially macroscopic cardiovascular dynamics or Guyton’s circulatory equilibrium theory, is a must in routine cardiology practice. Unfortunately many medical students fail to master Guyton’s circulatory equilibrium before graduating and starting practice, probably due to the scarceness of engineering education. In this short paper, the author would like to itemize some minimal basic engineering knowledges necessary to understand Guyton’s circulatory equilibrium, to show how not difficult to understand the theory.
