Abstract: The heart is one of the most important and vital body organs, which is responsible for pumping blood to different body tissues. Abnormalities in each part of heart can lead to lack of proper blood circulation. The arterial duct is one of the most important parts of embryonic cycles which may provide the possibility of a relationship between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. The failure of this duct to close after birth causes the abnormality called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). In this article, we propose a novel model for accurate simulation of PDA abnormality in the human heart. The model is obtained by exploiting the mathematical relation between hemodynamic parameters of heart, including pressure, blood, volume and flow. The proposed model is verified using clinical data.
