Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems

This volume brings together the range of control processes involved in the effective regulation of human cardiovascular and respiratory control systems and develops modelling themes, strategies, and key clinical applications using contemporary mathematical and control methodologies. Readers will gain an appreciation of how analytical techniques and ideas from optimal control theory, systems theory and numerical analysis can be utilized to better understand the regulation processes in these systems.
