The ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal represents the movements of the body in response to cardiac ejection of blood. The BCG signal can change considerably under various physiological states; however, little information exists in literature describing how these forces are generated. A physical analysis is presented using a finite element model of thoracic aortic vasculature to quantify forces generated by the blood flow during the cardiac cycle. The traction at the fluid-solid interface of this deformable wall model generates a Central Aortic Force (CAF) which appears of similar magnitude to recorded BCG forces. The increased pulse pressure in an exercise simulation caused a significant increase in CAF, which is consistent with recent BCG measurements in exercise recovery.
心冲击图(BCG)信号代表身体对心脏射血的响应运动。在各种生理状态下,BCG信号会发生相当大的变化;然而,文献中几乎没有描述这些力是如何产生的信息。本文利用胸主动脉血管系统的有限元模型进行物理分析,以量化心动周期中血流产生的力。这种可变形壁模型的流固界面处的牵引力产生了一个中心主动脉力(CAF),其大小与记录的BCG力相似。运动模拟中脉压的增加导致CAF显著增加,这与最近运动恢复过程中的BCG测量结果一致。
