Abstract:

Apparent compliance appeared as a new concept to unify the ancient controversy that the lumped and distributed schools face to model the cardiovascular system. Perhaps its undeniable contribution, some important factors as wall viscosity were diminished. High frequency low-pass response was explained as a reflection phenomena, when a simple model with conceptual components can perfectly fulfill the apparent compliance attenuation behavior.
