2B13 Design of Pulsation Profile in Artificial Circulatory System for Device Development of Diagnosis of Human Artery

Abstract

Arterial pulsation in arteries is deeply related to cardiovascular diseases. Although experimental studies under the pulsation are important, experiments in vivo have various problem including high-cost, invasiveness, and individual difference. Then the instrument that can reproduce the behavior of pulsation in human body have developed in this study. Compared to previous studies, the instrument is developed by modifying input system and adding fluidic resistance. Therefore, the developed instrument can be a new tool to explore vascular mechanobiology.
