Abstract
We have studied the cardiac beat synchronization (CBS) control for a rotary blood pump (RBP) and revealed that it can promote pulsatility and reduce cardiac load. Besides, patients with LVAD support are sometimes suffered from aortic and mitral regurgitation (AR and MR). A control method for the RBP should be validated in wider range of conditions to clarify its benefits and pitfalls in prior to clinical application. In this study, we evaluated pulsatility and cardiac load reduction obtained with the CBS control on valvular failure conditions with a mathematical model. Diastolic assist could reduce cardiac load on the left ventricle by decreasing external work of the ventricle even in MR cases while that was not so effective in AR cases. Systolic assist can still promote pulsatility in AR and MR cases; however, aortic valve function should be carefully confirmed since pulse pressure can be wider due to not systolic assist but AR.Keywords
