Circulatory Indices as a Function of Pericardial Volume. Percent change in circulatory indices as a function of pericardial volume (VPERI) for the model (diamonds) and patient data (squares) from [3]. Heart rate increases with VPERI up to 1000 ml (A), whereas cardiac output (B), and mean arterial pressure (C) decrease. Dotted line indicates point of significant deviation from control.
