In vitro model of the cardiovascular periphery
Michálek, Martin ; Zeman, Radek (referee) ; Kohút, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis focuses on modeling of peripheral vascular network in vitro. To achieve this purpose, 2-element Windkessel model is developed. Ball valve was used to achieve resistance and compliance chamber was constructed. Ball valve and compliance chamber were then used in a mock circulatory loop with peristaltic pump. When compliance 2,18 mlmmHg was achieved and ball valve was closed according to it, real values of pulse, systolic,diastolic and mean pressure in systematic arteries were obtained. Compliance chamber altered pulse pressure and valve adjusted mean pressure. Pressure and flow waveforms were measured and input impedance was calculated and shown.

Methods for respiration estimates from ECG signal
Mitrengová, Jana ; Mézl, Martin (referee) ; Králík, Martin (advisor)
The thesis deals with the realization of methods for estimation of the respiratory curve from the ECG signal. The first part of the thesis deals with the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory and cardiovascular system. In this part of the thesis are also described ways of the breathing monitoring. The second part of the thesis is dedicated to the description of individual methods for the ECG derived respiration. The third part deals with the realization of selected methods, application of method algorithms on real data and comparison of resulting respiratory curves with the respiratory signals available from the PhysioNet database. In conclusion, the individual methods are compared with each other.

Medical standing devices
Vadják, Šimon ; Ronzhina, Marina (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
This bachelor‘s thesis deals with patient verticalization and medical standing devices, which we use for this purpose. These findings are particularly important for rehabilitation and nursing care and also for the development of new standing devices. The bachelor‘s thesis describes the basic con¬cepts of human motor skills, the effect of changing position on the human organism, an overview of medical standing devices and their comparison. Thesis deals with comparison of the technical pa¬rameters of two standing devices more closely, standing device BALANCE Trainer and STOJ. The final part is devoted to measuring blood pressure using the noninvasive, continuous method of measuring at a group of wheelchair users during verticalization. I created a program with a graphical interface which allows measured data to load, display and measure, in numerical compu-ting environment MATLAB (version 7.9.0-R2009B). The results were statistically tested in the same numerical computing environment.

Artificial heart on the principle of gas accumulators
Kunický, Ondřej ; Fialová, Simona (referee) ; Pochylý, František (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of an artificial heart based on the principle of gas accumulators. The introductory part describes the anatomy and physiology of the human cardiovascular system, mechanical heart replacement and the basic properties of pneumatic mechanisms. Furthermore, there is shown the procedure of pneumatic circuit design and its simulation in the program Simulink. The experimental part contains verification of the functionality of the pneumatic circuit, designed the positive displacement pump, and the measured characteristics of both ventricles. The last part of the work deals with the reduction possibilities of dimensions and weight of the whole mechanism. There is also included computational modelling of the pneumatic circuit using helium as a working medium.

ECG and PPG derived respiration estimation
Chmela, Radek ; Smital, Lukáš (referee) ; Králík, Martin (advisor)
This work deals with the estimation of the respiratory curve from ECG and PPG signals. The first part deals with the description and monitoring of electrical activity of the heart, physiology and methodology of respiratory sensing and photoplethysmography. The second part deals with methods of extracting respiratory cycle information from ECG and PPG recordings. The third part deals with the algorithmic implementation and evaluation of individual procedures for estimating the breath curve from both of the above-mentioned signals on records from the web PhysioNet. In the last part, the algorithms are compared and evaluated.

The measurement of cardiovascular parameters
Žáková, Monika ; Kratochvíla, Jiří (referee) ; Nováková, Zuzana (advisor)
This paper summarizes the problems of physiology of the cardiovascular system, with a focus on cardiovascular measurements during physical activity. It describes the diagnostic tools Cardiovit AT-104 (Schiller, Switzerland) and PowerCube (Ganshorn, Germany), used to spiro-ergometry measurements. It provides options to export data and work with them. It proposed protocol for the measurement of a small group of volunteers, by which we measure basic diagnostic parameters before, during and after physical activity. The MATLAB application is created, allowing clear analysis of measurement records. The final part contains a statistical assessment affected by physical activity on the measured parameters and a comparison of results with the available literature.

Measurement of basic parameters of the cardiovascular system using a stress test
Matoušek, Denis ; Janoušek, Oto (referee) ; Nováková, Zuzana (advisor)
The bachelor's thesis describes the measurement of basic parameters of the cardiovascular system using a physical test on a bicycle ergometer, their processing and evaluation with the subsequent division of subjects into individual categories according to their physical fitness. The main goal of this work is to create a script in the MATLAB environment, which will be used to evaluate the results of the measured person in the student tasks taking place in practical exercises in physiology at the Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University.

Measurement of cardiovascular parameters
Kratochvíla, Jiří ; Čmiel, Vratislav (referee) ; Kolářová, Jana (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor’s thesis is to get acquainted with the measurement of cardiovascular parameters, to realize the measurment of these parameters, to analyze them, show the statistic procedure of verifying hypotheses in this spere and finally the presentation of measured data including automatical detection of the heart rate from ECG signal in created program in Guide of Matlab system. On the basis of the theory was done the measurment on own suggestion with the Biopac system and with the quicksilver tonomether. The parameters, that were measured on the group of five people: ECG, blood pressure and the pulse frequency before and after the load. After the data processing was done the statistic analysis, the aim of this analysis was to show the procedure of verifying hypothesis, if and how are these measured parameters of cardiovascular system changing. After that the measured data were transported into Matlab system. The presentation of measured data (created program) contains the time domain and spectral analyses (using Fourier transform) of ECG signal, automatical detection of the heart rate from ECG signal, analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV) – tachogram together with detailed analysis of HRV spectra (spectra of heart rate variability – relating with parasympathetic and sympathetic activity), that are using in clinical practice too, just as the other measured parametres of the cardiovascular system.

Continuous measurement of blood pressure
Kopčil, Petr ; Chmelař, Milan (referee) ; Nováková, Zuzana (advisor)
This paper deals with the physiology of cardiovascular system, explains elementary principles related to blood flow physiology and describes some basic mechanisms for regulation and blood pressure measurement. The paper also includes a description of the medical device, known as the Finometer (FMS, Netherlands), for continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurement and suggests a way to data export from this device to a text file. It introduces user friendly application to manage recorded data written in MATLAB. There is a statistical test to assess the difference between two statistical data files in the last chapter of this paper which includes a comparison our results with studies made in Czech Republic and other countries too.
