Windkessel effect is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries (Windkessel vessels) and the resistance of the smaller arteries and arterioles. Windkessel when loosely translated from ...
Windkessel effect is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries and the resistance of the smaller arteries and arterioles. Windkessel when loosely translated from German to English means 'air chamber', but is generally taken to imply an ...

Apr 26, 2017 · The Windkessel model was first described by German physiologist Otto Frank at the end of the 19th century. 8 The Windkessel effect describes the heart and systemic arterial system as a system similar to a hydraulic circuit connected to a chamber with a pocket of air. As water is pumped into the chamber, the water compresses the air in the ...

Oct 7, 2022 · The term ‘Windkessel effect’ is used in the setting of large elastic arteries like aorta. Elastic arteries have elastic tissue much more than the muscular arteries and are located nearer to the heart. Elasticity helps these blood vessels to maintain a relatively constant pressure gradient and flow though, the heart is pumping only ...
Jan 8, 2018 · We describe a mechanistic model of Windkessel phenomenon based on the linear dynamics of fluid-structure interactions. The phenomenon has its origin in an old-fashioned fire-fighting equipment where an air chamber serves to transform the intermittent influx from a pump to a more steady stream out of the hose. A similar mechanism exists in the cardiovascular system where blood injected ...

Mar 24, 2015 · The viscous analog of the Windkessel effect that has been recently proposed to rectify the pulse in the vasculature of the developing embryo is different in many ways to the adult Windkessel . The flow regimes, and therefore the physical mechanisms regulating this capacitor behavior, are qualitatively different in the adult compared to the embryo.
The Windkessel analogy illustrated. Windkessel effect is a term used in medicine to account for the shape of the arterial blood pressure waveform in terms of the interaction between the stroke volume and the compliance of the aorta and large elastic arteries (Windkessel vessels) and the resistance of the smaller arteries and arterioles.
