Patient-Specific In Silico Prediction of Outcomes of Partial Continuous-Flow LVAD Treatment in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng
Partial continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) treatment of peripartum cardiomyopathy provides greater functional improvement for higher than lower disease severity. The left ventricle and LVAD jointly generate ventricular output for mild functional impairment, where the left ventricular contribution decreases with increasing LVAD ...
