Description:
|
Ejection fraction (EF) is the the fraction of blood ejected by a ventricle and is one of the most common clinical measurements to used to assess cardiac function. We have solved the minimal closed-loop cardiovascular model to yield a formula for EF, then further simplified this formula to find which parameters of the closed-loop system affect ejection fraction the most.
