Advances in Hemodynamic Analysis in Cardiovascular Diseases Investigation of Energetic Characteristics of Adult and Pediatric Sputnik Left Ventricular Assist Devices during Mock Circulation Support

Figure 10

Time courses of the left ventricular (LV) pressure and volume; aortic pressure for acute heart failure in pediatric patient with body weight of 15.2 kg at the various pump speeds for partial support (red), partial-to-full support change (green), and total work attainment of a normal LV stroke work level (yellow). Blue lines represent time courses of condition characteristics simulated without support.
