P90 KINETIC ENERGY AND ENERGY LOSS IN THE MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY (MCA) OF HEARTMATE II PATIENTS

P90 KINETIC ENERGY AND ENERGY LOSS IN THE MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY (MCA) OF HEARTMATE II PATIENTS

Background: In heart failure patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVAD), arterial pulsatility in the brain is reduced and diastolic blood velocities (Vmin) are maintained. The effects of such altered hemodynamics on kinetic energy and, importantly, energy loss in the cer...
