Supports preclinical CFD refinement for total artificial hearts; leaves open human translation and device optimization.
Video-based valve motion combined with computational fluid dynamics provides accurate simulations of hemodynamics in the Realheart Total Artificial Heart, enabling future design optimization.
Kelly et al. (2021) studied end-stage, biventricular heart failure. Video-prescribed motion in CFD simulation vs. Other computational methods was evaluated on Accuracy of computational methods (error in ventricular pressure and flow rate). Video-prescribed motion of valves in CFD simulations of the Realheart total artificial heart yielded the highest accuracy, with a 6% error in ventricular pressure and 5% error in flow rate.
