AB Modelling the human cardiorespiratory system using computersimulation tools can serve to help physicians to comprehend thecauses and development of cardiorespiratory diseases. The objectiveof this paper is to develop an integrated model of the cardiovascularand respiratory systems, along with their intrinsic controlmechanisms, by combining analogous hydraulic-electric and diffusion-electric circuits, respectively. This modelling task is performedin object-oriented language in SIMSCAPE using the physical interconnectedcomponents to define the underlying dynamic equations.Simulation steady state results under rest and under variablephysical exercise conditions, as well as under limiting conditionsshow a high qualitative agreement with clinical observationsreported in literature. This object-oriented modelling approach,based on the combined use of electrical analogies, proves to beavaluable tool as a test bench for different strategies aimed toqualitative prediction of the effects of cardiorespiratory interactionsduring exercise, thus avoiding the formulation of complex mathematicalmodels.
