ABSTRACT

Panza [1] deines normal human systolic pressure as less than

120 mmHg and normal diastolic pressure less than 70 mmHg. De

Bruyne et al. [2] measured coronary diastolic pressure at 87.5 mmHg, and a systolic pressure of 152.5 mmHg at 1.81 Hz. Ebenal et al. [3] measured aortic systolic pressure at 120 mmHg and diastolic pressure at 50 mmHg at 1.3 Hz. Regularly a local minimum above

50 mmHg must be recreated and pressure variation adjusted to

realistically replicate human blood pressure waves. The simulation

of human blood pressure is desirable to recreate a realistic motion of

the silicone vasculature in the endovascular evaluator (EVE) and also

for interacting with catheters, guide wires and other intravascular

tools inserted within the silicone vasculature during the simulation.
