Arduino control of a pulsatile flow rig

In-vitro experiments are a useful tool in hemodynamics research, offering a wide range of applicable experimental techniques, combined with good accuracy and reproducibility. To simulate physiologically realistic pulsatile flow, a dedicated pumping system is used in these experiments. This can either be a mock loop representing the full circulatory system [8,9], or a pump that reproduces a waveform measured locally in-vivo [4 –7,12].
