Key result
A mock circulatory system reproducing the left ventricle and systemic arterial tree was developed to evaluate left ventricular assist device performance during simulated low contractility pathology.
The development of a mock circulatory system allows for in vitro testing of LVAD performance and its interaction with simulated left ventricular pathology.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May enable safer in vitro LVAD testing under low contractility; leaves open clinical translation pending in vivo validation.
Ferrari et al. (1994) studied Low contractility pathology of the ventricle (simulated). Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in a mock circulatory system was evaluated on LVAD performance and its effect on the circulatory system. A mock circulatory system reproducing the left ventricle and systemic arterial tree was developed to evaluate left ventricular assist device performance during simulated low contractility pathology.
