A compact pulsatile simulator based on cam-follower mechanism for generating radial pulse waveforms

Abstract Background There exists a growing need for a cost-effective, reliable, and portable pulsation simulator that can generate a wide variety of pulses depending on age and cardiovascular disease. For constructing compact pulsation simulator, this study proposes to use a pneumatic actuator based...
