Preload-based starling-like control for rotary blood pumps: numerical comparison with pulsatility control and constant speed operation.

Preload-based starling-like control for rotary blood pumps: numerical comparison with pulsatility control and constant speed operation.

In this study, we evaluate a preload-based Starling-like controller for implantable rotary blood pumps (IRBPs) using left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (PLVED) as the feedback variable. Simulations are conducted using a validated mathematical model. The controller emulates the response of the n...
