Abstract: In order to study the human cardiovascular system, we develop a Windkessel model of the heart and the blood vessels. This model can be used to study the time evolution of various thermodynamic parameters, in different regimes of the heart (high blood pressure, low blood pressure, normal blood pressure, high speed, low speed, normal speed etc.). We draw qualitative pressure-volume diagrams in order to apply the Finite Speed Thermodynamics (FST) to this model.

Keywords: Finite Speed Thermodynamics, biological application, cardiovascular system
