Objective In the present work a cardiovascular simulator designed both for clinical and
training use is presented. Method The core of the simulator is a lumped parameter model of …

Long‐term mechanical circulatory assistance opened new problems in ventricular assist
device—patient interaction, especially in relation to autonomic controls. Modeling studies …

The transition from fetal to newborn condition involves complex physiological adaptations for
extrauterine life. A crucial event in this process is the clamping of the umbilical cord, which …

Continuous flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVAD) operating speed modulation
techniques are proposed to achieve different purposes such as improving arterial pulsatility …

Nowadays advanced heart failure is mainly treated through heart transplantation. However,
the low availability of donors makes the research of alternative therapies urgent. Continuous …

The control problem for LVADs is to set pump speed such that cardiac output and pressure
perfusion are within acceptable physiological ranges. However, current technology of …

This paper presents an approach for real-time estimation of the systemic vascular resistance
(SVR) of heart failure patients who have a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Notably, an …

Background: Heart failure (HF) is affecting millions of people every year and it is
characterized by impaired ventricular performance, exercise intolerance and shortened life …

In this paper, we introduce a new suction detection approach based on online learning of a
Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) with constrained parameters to model the reduction in pump …

Circulatory models can be used in support of clinical decision making. Based on this
assumption, we developed a modelling platform composed of a family of circulatory models …
