Overview of the six-chamber cardiovascular system model which relates the pressures (𝑃), volumes (𝑉), and flows (𝑄) in the cardiovascular system using parameters of elastance (𝐸), resistance (𝑅), and inertance (𝐿); driL and driR represent cardiac muscle activation and act as the driver functions for the CVS model.
