Abstract :
A gradated cardioresponsive Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) control algorithm was developed in order to improve cardiac reverse remodeling in patients who suffer from late to end-stage heart failure. This algorithm was created to improve physician control of the LVAD as well as improve awareness of the patient´s condition. The control algorithm was validated using a mock circulatory system and simulated LVAD.
