   Author : Niklas Moberg; [2011]
   Keywords : Hemodynamics; model; Valsalva; cardiovascular;

   Abstract : The goal of the Master's Thesis was to extend an existing cardiovascular model to include the mechanics of the lung, thus allowing to simulate breathing maneuvers such as the Valsalva maneuver and the Forced Vital Capacity maneuver. This included a remodeling of the pulmonary capillaries and of the existing interactions of the model with the intrathoracic pressure. READ MORE
