Patient-specific Elastance Functions for Children with Single Ventricle

by Christian Winkler, M.Sc.

Poster presentation at World Congress of Biomechanics 2018

This project about the computation of patient-specific elastance functions is separated into five chapters: measurement, ESPVR estimation, modeling the elastance function, curve fitting and simulation. You can find a detailed description of each chapter in the wiki.

1) Measuring pressure-volume loops (PV loops)

2) ESPVR estimation

• Takeuchi, 1991
• ten Brinke, 2010
• Gesenhues, 2015

3) Modeling the elastance function

• Lankhaar, 2009

4) Curve fitting

5) Simulations based on lumped parameter model
