- Abstract
- The cardiovascular diseases, especially the atherosclerosis, rated among the top mortality reasons and its significance has been increasing progressively. Therefore, having a diagnostic tool to predict the cardiovascular diseases is prominent. The most common diagnostic tool for this type of disorders is using angiography; however, evaluating the Work of Heart is emerging as an easy to use and non-invasive tool recently. In this study, the modified Windkessel model and different whole blood viscosity models (Casson and Herschel-Bulkley) are employed to evaluate the heart work. The results revealed that both of the viscosity models can be used in conjunction with the modified Windkessel model.
