Contributions of interstitial fluid (ISF) flow within the myocardial
microcirculation is not well understood despite its importance due to
difficulties in measurements. For analysing a contribution of
interstitial fluid flow within myocardial microcirculation, we
developed a computational model of myocardial microcirculation by
introducing convection by the ISF flow into an existing myocardial
microcirculation model, and performed simulations with varied ISF
flows in normal and hypoperfusion conditions. Simulation results show
that the ISF flow has a contribution only with low capillary flow.
This might suggest partial comensation of oxygen supply by the ISF
flow under ischemic conditions.
