Evaluating the Hemodynamical Response of a Cardiovascular System under Support of a Continuous Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device via Numerical Modeling and Simulations
Figure 7
Comparison of the hemodynamic variables in the healthy (), dilated cardiomyopathic (DCM), and HTA assisted models.anddenote the volume and pressure respectively. CO, MPO and CI are the cardiac output, mean pump output, and cardiac index, and HR is the heart rate. Subscripts lv, rv, as, and ap represent the left ventricle, the right ventricle, the systemic arteries and the pulmonary arteries,and denote end-systolic and end-diastolic, andandare systolic and diastolic, respectively.
