Patient Specific Modeling of the Cardiovascular-Respiratory system: interdisciplinary approaches to theory and practice At the International Workshop on Innovative Simulation for Healthcare
Chairs: Jerry Batzel, University of Graz Nandu Goswami, Medical University of Graz Mette Olufsen, North Carolina State University
Deadlines for Papers Submission Author’s Instruction for paper submission
Track Description Cardiovascular-Respiratory function is maintained through a complex interplay of control mechanisms, including key mechanisms influencing blood pressure and blood volume control and the control of blood gases via ventilation. The track will seek to provide an interdisciplinary perspective for development of novel research hypotheses regarding cardiovascular-respiratory control mechanisms, current approaches to modeling such systems, and current issues in the application of such models in the clinical setting to assess patient specific system status. Through a unified understanding of control mechanisms better understanding of the clinical consequences of compromised control can be developed leading to better diagnostic and treatment protocols. Important areas of clinical application can include, for example, the problem of syncope in the elderly, assessment and response to hypertension and hypotension during hemodialysis, problems related to understanding and assessing cerebral blood flow autoregulation, clinical problems related to blood volume support during hemorrhage and many other problems which involve multiple control systems. The Track will incorporate 3 sessions providing theoretical , practical, and experimental dimensions to patient specific modeling. These sessions are: · Patient specific Models (practical: model development, model design of key mechanisms etc.) · Patient specific modeling theory (theoretical: model validation techniques etc.) · Physiology/data experimentation and clinical problems (experimental: problems in experimental design and data measurements, development of tools for patient assessment etc .)
