Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.): Vascular Hemodynamic Simulation Using a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Design

The PCB analog successfully reproduces the characteristic hemodynamic signatures of arterial stenosis in real time and at low cost. The model provides a valuable tool for educational and research applications, offering rapid and intuitive visualization of vascular behavior. Current accuracy reflects assumptions of Newtonian, laminar, and lumped flow; future work will refine calibration, quantify uncertainty, and benchmark results against physiological measurements and full CFD simulations.
