The Natural Frequencies of the Arterial System and Their Relation to the Heart Rate

Abstract: We assume the major function of the arterial system is transporting energy via its transverse vibration to facilitate the blood flowing all the way down to the microcirculation. A highly efficient system is related to maintaining a large pressure pulse along the artery for a given ventricular power. The arterial system is described as a composition of many infinitesimal Windkessels. The strong tethering in the longitudinal direction connects all the Windkessels together and makes them vibrate in coupled modes.… Show more

“…Furthermore, TCM believes that pulse diagnosis is capable of determining how Qi-Blood works in Zang-Fu. All these concepts collectively point towards a hypothesis that the harmonic pattern of resonance between organs and heart should be subject to the influence of organ mass density, elasticity, and geometry (Lin Wang et al, 2004). Human and animal trials are being conducted to support this hypothesis (Young et al, 1989a;Young et al, 1989b;Young et al, 1992;Yu et al, 1994).…”

“…21,22 Lin Wang et al 23,24 have recently refocused attention on this topic and contend that one of the functions of the heart is to generate radial oscillatory motion or resonance or vibrations of the arterial system. Fluid flow-induced sound and vibrations are well recognized in physics and have been well characterized mathematically.…”

“…The arterial system will have natural frequencies dependent on its geometry, physical properties of the vessel wall, constituents of the blood flowing through it, and boundary conditions at junctions. 23 Vessels can also produce subharmonic and chaotic vibrations. 28 Cardiac contraction generates an input force into the arteries that can be decomposed by Fourier series analysis into many harmonic forces of different frequencies.…”

“…Each organ has its special principal resonant frequency; the circulatory system is harmonious and stable. When an organ was excited, the resonance frequency changes [3][4][5].…”
