12 A simple closed-loop circulatory model This leads to a set of 3 ordinary differen5al equa5ons (ODEs): dv 1 /dt = q ao - q art dv 2 /dt = q art - q mit dv LV /dt = q mit - q ao These can be solved numerically using an ODE- solver (e.g. in Matlab) 23 A more detailed closed- loop circulatory model, Circulation model by Lu et al (AJP 2001)
