An apparatus for simulation of blood flow through the heart and systemic circulation has been constructed. Catheter coupling to an externally mounted strain gauge transducer permits dynamic measurement of arterial and venous pressures. With the simulator, students can observe the effects of stroke volume and rate upon maximum, minimum, and mean arterial pressure. Additional demonstrations are discussed.
