Abstract :
This paper introduces a functional model of the cardiovascular system that is capable of describing its behavior in normal as well as pathologic cases. The developed model includes all the main compartments of the circulatory system and also the baroreflex-feedback regulatory mechanism. The model response to the incorporation of two critical cardiovascular disorders namely hypertension and acute congestive heart failure is realistic and within the expected range of the results of the literature experimental data
