Electrical analogy artery model, which incorporates elements, characterizing all four main effects of the blood flow, and enables evaluation of pressure-dependent compliance using non-invasive techniques, was proposed in this study. Assumption that, blood inertance together with non-linear compliance enables more accurate representation and provides quantitatively and qualitatively improved diagnostic information, was validated in initial experimental <em>in vivo</em> study of human carotid artery. Mean value of inadequancy for <em>C<sub>P</sub></em> - 9,69 % was obtained comparing proposed four and two element models.
