Resumen

Introduction: A computer model was developed to estimate the arterial pressure and the cardiac output of humans, by adapting the equations of the Windkessel theory. Material and Methods: The model inputs are based on certain characteristics of patients, such as age, the use of specific drugs and smoking habits. It also predicts the effect of smoking on any of the constituent variables of arterial impedance (Compliance and Resistance) and establishes a statistically significant relationship between them. Results: The outputs of the model are strongly correlated with physiological observations, with a minimum error of 3% for the arterial pressure. Conclusion: The proposed model is useful for providing an easy and low cost estimation of arterial pressure.
