A general investigation of the heart pulse propagation in blood vessel has been done and this research has been conducted for the blood flow in physiological conditions; then also the problems connected to new surgical techniques and also necessary in the organs transplantations. In particular in presence of insertion at some distance from the input is investigated and also the effects of the connection of vascular segments with different mechanical properties increases the risk of generation of blood turbolence fluxes and involves, in the arterial vessels. Mechanical models of cardiovascular system have been studied and the effects considered in clinical applications.
