Heart failure is a major health risk, and with limited availability of donor organs, there is an
increasing need for developing cardiac assist devices (CADs). Mock circulatory loops (MCL) …

During the development process of active or passive cardiovascular implants, such as
ventricular assist devices or vascular grafts, extensive in-vitro testing is required. The aim of …

Hybrid cardiovascular mock circuits (HMC), designed for dynamic testing of Ventricular
Assist Devices (VAD), offer physiologic accuracy by sequestering model complexity in silico …

Significant advances in biomedical science often leverage powerful computational and
experimental modeling platforms. We present a framework named physiology simulation …

The analysis of the efficiency and optimum use of cardiovascular and respiratory support
systems is of great importance in research and development as well as in clinical practice …

The aim of this work is to study pediatric pneumatic ventricle (PVAD) performance, versus
VAD rate (VADR) and native heart rate (HR) ratio Rr (VADR/HR). The study uses a hybrid …

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 …

To better understand the impact of valvular heart disease (VHD) on the hemodynamics of
the circulatory system, investigations can be carried out using a model of the cardiovascular …

The hybrid cardiovascular modeling approach integrates an in vitro experiment with a
computational lumped‐parameter simulation, enabling direct physical testing of medical …

A 2-year-old child was implanted with an Berlin Heart EXCOR Ventricular Assist Device
