When the rotary blood pump is used as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), the arterial blood pressure waveform changes with the LVAD condition. Based on evidence from an in vitro study, the change of the arterial blood pressure waveform during left ventricular assistance was evaluated using animal models. After the left pleural cavity was opened through the fifth intercostal space under general anesthesia, a rotary blood pump was implanted as an LVAD into 6 healthy calves. The direct left carotid arterial blood pressure waveform was measured and recorded by an oscilloscope. The Fast Fourier Transform technique was utilized to analyze the arterial blood pressure waveform and calculate the pulsatility index (PI) and the pulse power index (PPI). Similar to the in vitro study, the PI and PPI decreased exponentially with the increase of the LVAD assist ratio. By using this analysis methodology, a physiologically effective ventricular assistance might be achieved.

D011673 Pulsatile Flow Rhythmic, intermittent propagation of a fluid through a BLOOD VESSEL or piping system, in contrast to constant, smooth propagation, which produces laminar flow. Flow, Pulsating,Perfusion, Pulsatile,Flow, Pulsatile,Flows, Pulsatile,Flows, Pulsating,Perfusions, Pulsatile,Pulsatile Flows,Pulsatile Perfusion,Pulsatile Perfusions,Pulsating Flow,Pulsating Flows
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
