Figure 3From: Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling of the cardiovascular effects of drugs – method development and application to magnesium in sheepCardiac function curves for the Frank-Starling model. A summary of the behaviour of the simple Frank-Starling model. The relationship between cardiac function (contractility) and the arterial and venous pressures matches well that reported in many textbooks. The venous compliance CPLv was 0.45, and the ratio of CPLv/CPLa was 15.Back to article page
