Electrical analog model of the cardiovascular simulator including the thoracic artificial lung. The cardiovascular model is divided in the following sections: left (right) heart, systemic arterial section (with variable peripheral resistance), systemic venous section, main (small) pulmonary artery section, pulmonary arteriole (capillary) section, pulmonary venous section and coronary circulation. TAL assistance is connected between the input to the pulmonary artery and the natural lung/left atrial section. Table 1 summarizes pressures, flows and RLC elements.
