Left Ventricular Assist Device Performance Under Pressure

Improvement of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Artificial Heart Using Particle Swarm Optimization

In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...

Design an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs

LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...

Prediction of hemodynamics under left ventricular assist device.

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) saves lives in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) failure. However, predicting how much LVAD boosts total cardiac output (CO) remains difficult. This study aimed to develop a framework to quantitatively predict the impact of LVAD on hemodynamics. We adopted the circulatory equilibrium framework and incorporated LVAD into the integrated CO curve to d...
