Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal represents the movements of the body in response to cardiac ejection of blood. The BCG signal can change considerably under various physiological states; however, little information exists in literature describing how these forces are generated. A physical analysis is presented using a finite element model of thoracic aortic vasculature to quantify forces generated by the blood flow during the cardiac cycle. The traction at the fluid-solid interface of this deformable wall model generates a Central Aortic Force (CAF) which appears of similar magnitude to recorded BCG forces. The increased pulse pressure in an exercise simulation caused a significant increase in CAF, which is consistent with recent BCG measurements in exercise recovery.
