Abstract

Historically, cardiovascular computational models have been developed considering the case of a 70 Kg male patient. However, hemodynamic quantities differ widely due to sex, age, and weight. In this study, we developed a female-specific model of the blood circulation of a young (18-40 y.o.) woman with BSA of 1.6 m2. The lumped-parameter (0D) model, which includes the uterus, has been calibrated with female-specific parameters and validated with sex-specific literature data.
