Abstract
Considering a sinusoidally varying blood pressure In left ventricle in Cho - Kensey's Windkessel model, we expressed the impedance elements in terms of the phase differences among the pressure and flow rates in the artery and the peripherical tubes. The relationships were further simplified for the real human cardiac system. We expect that the results would give some valuable information for examination and treatment in oriental medicine as well as in western medicine.
