Supports further preclinical refinement of the Milwaukee Heart; leaves open in vivo performance and clinical translation.
In vitro testing of the Milwaukee Heart shows it provides reliable performance and satisfactory hemodynamics with efficient power consumption.
Gao et al. (1992) studied this question. Milwaukee Heart (electrically powered total artificial heart) was evaluated on Hemodynamic performance and power consumption. In vitro testing of the Milwaukee Heart demonstrated reliable performance and satisfactory hemodynamics, consuming 6.5 W of power at an average flow of 5 L/min.
