Abstract :
This article established a general model of the human cardiovascular system, also simulated heart failure under different levels of human blood circulatory system, and compared the advantages and disadvantages of the cardiac assist device in a different location (ascending aorta and descending aorta). These experiments have some guiding significances to clinical trials.
