Hey @alemelis, I have re-implemented the 0D heart model used by [1] in python and would be happy to make the translation into Julia for adding the feature to the repo. The model relates 5 parameters (heart rate, stroke volume, left ventricular ejection time, peak flow time and rejection fraction volume) to the inlet blood flow.

Let me know if this is something you would like me to create a PR for!

@AWehenkel this sounds great! (I think the reference link is missing in your post)
please feel free to open a PR even in draft state.
I'm happy to review it

I will open it then!
