Describes a computer program (for the IBM microcomputer) which simulates pulsatile events in the heart in time frames that approach the speed of physiological events. The program also simulates the experimental laboratory in which the mechanics of an isolated heart can be studied. (Author/JN)

Describes a computer-based instructional unit in cardiovascular physiology. The program (which employs simulated laboratory experimental techniques with a problem-solving format is designed to supplement an animal laboratory and to offer students an integrative approach to physiology through use of microcomputers. Also presents an overview of the…
