Additional information
Theoretical study of the haemodynamic mechanisms underlying the shape of the blood pressure waveform in the human arterial network. It presents a new algorithm to study pulse wave reflections, which play a key role in hypertension and cardiovascular disease. By following all reflected waves using a 1-D model in the time domain, it is possible to study much more complex vessel networks than with conventional methods. Alastruey wrote the manuscript and developed the algorithm, and was awarded a BHF fellowship on the basis of this work. Citations show it's use in numerical and clinical studies on arterial haemodynamics.
