Comparative analysis of cardiac mechano-energetics in isolated hearts supported by pulsatile or rotary blood pumps
Abstract The previously more frequently implanted pulsatile blood pumps (PBPs) showed higher recovery rates than the currently preferred rotary blood pumps (RBPs), with unclear causality. The aim of this study was to comparatively assess the capability of PBPs and RPBs to unload the left ventricle a...
