Compliance and capacitance
If arterial compliance falls from 1.5 to 0.8 mL/mmHg with the same stroke volume, what happens to the aortic pulse pressure?
Experiment: Normal adult at rest · unchanged from its starting state

Inspect beats and technical detailsbeat selection, transient versus settled, timings
Early beats after a change are transient: the circulation is still re-balancing. A beat is called settled when three consecutive windows agree within the tolerance. Playback speed only moves the cursor over the finished simulation; it never changes the heart rate.

Baseline
No baseline is set.
Comparison snapshots
Keep up to three snapshots of states you want to compare with the baseline and the current state.
