Collaboration diagram for CardiovascularSystemData:

Modules
	ArterialPressure
	The current arteial pressure.
	BloodVolume
	The total volume of fluid within the cardiovascular system.
	CardiacIndex
	Relates heart performance to the size of the individual.
	CardiacOutput
	The volume of blood being pumped from the heart in a given time interval. It is defined as the heart rate multiplied by the stroke volume.
	CentralVenousPressure
	The instantaneous pressure of the venous return.
	CerebralBloodFlow
	The rate of blood flow into the skull, thus supplying the brain.
	CerebralPerfusionPressure
	The difference between the mean arterial pressure and the cerebral blood pressure. Defines the hydrostatic diffusion gradient.
	DiastolicArterialPressure
	The minimum pressure in the aorta over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	HeartEjectionFraction
	The current pressure in the aorta.
	HeartRate
	The fraction of the blood that is pumped out of the ventricle during a cardiac cycle.
	HeartRhythm
	Current heart rhythm.
	HeartStrokeVolume
	The volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle in one contraction.
	IntracranialPressure
	The pressure inside the skull. Equal to the cerebral blood pressure with the cerebrospinal fluid pressure being assumed equal.
	MeanArterialPressure
	The average arterial pressure throughout each cardiac cycle.
	MeanArterialCarbonDioxidePartialPressure
	The mean of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the aorta over a cardiac cycle.
	MeanArterialCarbonDioxidePartialPressureDelta
	The change of the the mean of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the aorta from the previous cardiac cycle.
	MeanCentralVenousPressure
	The average pressure in the vena cava over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	MeanSkinFlow
	The blood flow to the skin averaged over the current cardiac cycle time.
	PulmonaryArterialPressure
	The current pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
	PulmonaryCapillariesWedgePressure
	The pressure within the pulmonary capillaries.
	PulmonaryDiastolicArterialPressure
	The minimum pressure that occurs in the pulmonary arteries over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	PulmonaryMeanArterialPressure
	The average pressure that occurs in the pulmonary arteries over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	PulmonaryMeanCapillaryFlow
	The average blood flow in the pulmonary capillaries over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	PulmonaryMeanShuntFlow
	The average blood flow diverted from the pulmonary capillaries (not oxygenated) over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	PulmonarySystolicArterialPressure
	The maximum pressure in the pulmonary arteries over the course of a cardiac cycle.
	PulmonaryVascularResistance
	The resistance offered by the pulmonary circulation.
	PulmonaryVascularResistanceIndex
	Relates pulmonary circulation performance to the size of the individual.
	PulsePressure
	The difference between the systolic and diastolic pressures.
	SystemicVascularResistance
	The resistance to blood flow through the entire systemic vasculature, not including the pulmonary circulation.
	SystolicArterialPressure
	The maximum pressure in the aorta over the course of a cardiac cycle.

Detailed Description

Provides a representation of the human vasculature.

The heart is the driving force that creates blood flow through the cardiovascular system. The resulting blood flow is utilized by other physiologic systems as a means of transporting the oxygen, carbon dioxide and other substances throughout the human body.
