Abstract :
A structural nonlinear mathematical model for the analysis of the metabolic control of the ventricular contraction strength has been developed, from a macroscopic point of view. By means of digital simulation, a decrease in coronary perfusion pressure followed by a re-perfusion period is elicited, and its effects on the mechanisms that regulate the ventricular contraction strength are studied. The results agree with those reported “in vivo” by other authors
