An extended one-dimensional arterial network model for the simulation of pressure and flow in upper and lower limb extremities

Background: Arterial pulse wave velocity and pulse waveform analysis have become an established component of cardiovascular research. As validation and assessment of devices is not always trivial in an in vivo setting, arterial network computer models may be useful for that purpose. It is, however, mandatory that the model includes sufficient detail, especially when analysing peripheral waveforms.
