Bridging the gap between measurements and modelling: a cardiovascular functional avatar

Abstract Lumped parameter models of the cardiovascular system have the potential to assist researchers and clinicians to better understand cardiovascular function. The value of such models increases when they are subject specific. However, most approaches to personalize lumped parameter models have...
