Popis: | A theoretical study is made of three organ flow models with heterogeneity of capillary transit times. A new parametrization of Rose and Goresky's Model III facilitates in many cases a reduction to Goresky's Model II, accomplished by a special time shift. The shift parameter\(\tau _{c_z } = \tau _{c_m } - t_{APP} /b\) defined here is critical in this analysis of Model III. A new expression of the series for outflow concentration in Model III is given and proves useful in examining the model as an operator and in relating it to Models I and II. A result on parameter optimization is given: if\(\tau _{c_z } \geqslant 0\) then Model III cannot fit better than Model II. This is applied to some data from Rose and Goresky [Circulation Res.39, 541–544 (1976)] and raises a new question about their model. A heart model of Levin and Bassingthwaighte based on regional flow measurement is shown to be a discretized generalization of Model II. |
