Modelo Conceptual
Descripción
Modelo D12 - Función cardiovascular: ergometría, ecocardiograma-stress, tilt test, HRV
El modelo conceptual busca comprender los mecanismos que dan origen a un comportamiento, y describirlos de la forma más simple posible. Para eso, el comportamiento se segmenta en temas (grupos): cada uno identifica los objetos o variables que participan —tanto en su funcionamiento normal como en sus posibles anomalías o desviaciones— y describe, mediante verbos, la forma en que esos objetos interactúan entre sí. El resultado es lo que llamamos una red semántica: la estructura con la que representamos y comunicamos el modelo conceptual, antes de introducir ecuación alguna.

Estructura de los Grupos
Descripción
El primer paso consiste en analizar la descripción general del modelo e identificar los distintos aspectos que intervienen en el fenómeno y que deben ser representados. Cada uno de estos aspectos se organiza como un grupo, entendido como una unidad conceptual coherente que describe una parte específica del funcionamiento del modelo.
Cada grupo reúne los objetos o conceptos relevantes para ese aspecto y las relaciones o verbos que describen cómo interactúan, se modifican o dependen unos de otros. De esta manera, cada grupo constituye una parte de la red semántica del modelo, mientras que el conjunto de los grupos permite representar de forma estructurada su funcionamiento global.
La división en grupos facilita además separar mecanismos, condiciones, procesos y resultados que cumplen funciones diferentes dentro del modelo, manteniendo al mismo tiempo las relaciones que existen entre ellos. Los grupos no son, por tanto, componentes aislados: pueden compartir conceptos y establecer relaciones entre sí, formando conjuntamente una única representación semántica del fenómeno.
La imagen anterior ofrece una visión general de los distintos aspectos en que se ha estructurado el modelo. A continuación se presentan los grupos identificados, indicando para cada uno su título y una breve descripción del aspecto del modelo que representa.
Grupo 1: Grupo 1: Exercise capacity and myocardial oxygen demand
Progressive exercise raises cardiovascular work and allows cardiorespiratory capacity to be quantified through peak oxygen consumption. Peak oxygen consumption depends on cardiac output and tissue oxygen extraction through the Fick principle; values below 14 mL/kg/min indicate severe limitation in heart failure, whereas values above 20 mL/kg/min support ordinary daily activity. Heart rate multiplied by systolic pressure gives the double product, an indirect estimate of myocardial oxygen consumption whose patient-specific ischemic threshold is reproducible and can guide treatment.
Grupo 2: Grupo 2: Exercise-induced ischemia and stress-test interpretation
Exercise ischemia is detected from standardized ST-segment depression shortly after ventricular depolarization; depression of at least 1 mm is considered positive. The exercise ECG has limited sensitivity and specificity for significant coronary obstruction and becomes uninterpretable in several conduction, ventricular hypertrophy, drug, or inadequate-exercise settings. When adequate physical stress cannot be interpreted or achieved, pharmacologic stress can reproduce relevant cardiac or coronary effects.
Grupo 3: Grupo 3: Doppler valve hemodynamics and systolic function
Doppler echocardiography infers the pressure difference across a stenotic valve from transvalvular blood velocity; the simplified Bernoulli relation makes the pressure gradient increase with the square of velocity and agrees closely with invasive catheter measurement. Biplane Simpson analysis estimates left-ventricular volumes from stacked discs and derives the fraction expelled per beat. Its ejection-fraction estimate has less than 10% error relative to cardiac magnetic resonance according to the source.
Grupo 4: Grupo 4: Orthostatic autonomic pressure regulation
Head-up tilt challenges autonomic control by moving the patient to 60–70 degrees for 20–45 minutes while heart rate and blood pressure are continuously observed. A systolic fall greater than 20 mmHg or diastolic fall greater than 10 mmHg within three minutes, without sufficient compensatory heart-rate rise, defines orthostatic hypotension. A different response, vasovagal syncope, combines an abrupt pressure fall with a paradoxical heart-rate fall, indicating sudden dominance of the cardiac-slowing autonomic branch.
Grupo 5: Grupo 5: Twenty-four-hour heart-rate variability and risk
Continuous 24-hour ECG provides beat-to-beat intervals from which global heart-rate variability is quantified. The dispersion of all normal beat intervals integrates autonomic modulation across frequencies; a value below 50 ms identifies very high sudden-death risk after myocardial infarction or in heart failure. A geometric index based on total interval count divided by the count in the most populated histogram bin measures similar global variability and is less sensitive to long-record artifacts.
Grupo 6: Grupo 6: Integrated cardiovascular functional assessment
Cardiovascular function is assessed across complementary contexts: progressive exercise, provoked ischemia, valve and ventricular imaging, orthostatic challenge, and a full day of rhythm recording. Together these tests characterize cardiorespiratory reserve, individualized ischemic threshold, noninvasive valve gradients, systolic function, autonomic pressure control and arrhythmic risk. Their combination supports personalized therapy and avoids unnecessary invasive testing when noninvasive measurements are adequate.

El indicador más directo de que el corazón está sufriendo una isquemia durante el esfuerzo es un descenso característico de una parte concreta del trazado eléctrico del corazón, medido en un punto estandarizado poco después del final de la despolarización ventricular; cuando ese descenso alcanza al menos un milímetro en ese punto concreto, se considera positivo para isquemia.

A geometric index based on total interval count divided by the count in the most populated histogram bin measures similar global variability and is less sensitive to long-record artifacts. Existe además una medida geométrica alternativa de esta misma variabilidad global a lo largo de veinticuatro horas, que compara cuántos intervalos entre latidos se registraron en total con cuántos de ellos cayeron en el intervalo más frecuente de todos, y que resulta menos sensible que la dispersión estadística a los artefactos que inevitablemente aparecen en un registro tan largo.
