Left Ventricular Assist Devices Are Underutilized [PDF]
Circulation, 2011 Heart failure has become one of the fastest growing cardiovascular diagnoses, with estimates as high as 500 000 new cases per year.1,2 This growth is in part a result of the reductions in death from acute coronary syndromes, increased use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and improved survival with most cardiovascular interventions, which ...

Physiologic Data-Driven Iterative Learning Control for Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Continuous flow ventricular assist devices (cfVADs) constitute a viable and increasingly used therapy for end-stage heart failure patients. However, they are still operating at a fixed-speed mode that precludes physiological cfVAD response and it is ...
