Synergistic Model of Cardiac Function with a Heart Assist Device [PDF]

, 2019
The breakdown of cardiac self-organization leads to heart diseases and failure, the number one cause of death worldwide. The left ventricular pressure–volume relation plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.
