CIRCULATION STUDIO FIELD GUIDE
Help & Wiki
Find an answer. Explore the physiology. Get back to teaching.
How the model works
Calculation order, equations, interactions, waveform generation and explicit assumptions.
Antiarrhythmics, pacing & electrical treatment
A rule-based response selects a later rhythm while disease and drug burden remain.
Assumptions, validation scope & known limits
What has been checked, what is idealized and what the model cannot claim.
Baseline controls: flow, filling, resistance & rate
What each slider sets, and why the final numbers can move together.
Calculation order & shared state
Follow a change from a control to the final circulation and its displays.
Catheter progression, pullback & provocative signs
What changes when the catheter moves, and what remains a fixed reference.
Central versus peripheral pressure & recording artifacts
Pulse amplification, transit delay and damping are display measurements, not new diseases.
Decompression & experimental valve endpoints
Successful procedures remove a selected lesion while retaining other disease.
ECG synthesis & curated interpretation
How telemetry and twelve-lead patterns are drawn and explained.
Echo, chest X-ray, IVC & JVP synthesis
Illustrations consume the modeled state; they are not independent imaging measurements.
Fick & thermodilution: generated measurements
Method readouts can differ from true modeled flow for a stated teaching reason.
Foundations, cases, tutorial, Crimson Circuit & procedural quiz
How teaching content prepares, selects, reveals and scores the shared physiology.
Gorlin, Hakki & regurgitant calculations
Formula estimates use the synthetic pressure and flow data, with explicit exclusions.
Heart sounds, clicks, snaps & splitting
Sound markers are illustrative valve-event annotations with pressure-dependent timing.
How the simulator works
An indexed reference to the physiology, equations, traces and assumptions behind Circulation Studio.
