Abstract:
1. A cardiovascular flow system, comprising: (a) a model of a cardiovascular system, the model including cardiac anatomy inclusive of a pulmonary artery that crosses a coronary artery tree of the cardiac anatomy; (b) a pump system for enabling a carrier fluid to be propagated through the model; (c) an ECG simulator system in communicative connection with the pump system, the ECG simulator system being adapted to create and transmit a simulated ECG signal, the ECG simulator system using a signal received from the pump system to adjust the simulated ECG signal transmitted from the ECG simulator system; and (d) an injection port to enable an injection fluid to be injected into the model, the injection port adapted to be placed in fluid connection with an injector to inject the injection fluid into the model; wherein, as the carrier fluid and the injection fluid flow through the model as a result of the pump system, at least the injection fluid is detectable by an imaging system as the injection fluid flows through at least one region of interest of the model.
