Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented international focus on improved
quality and availability of medical care, which has reignited interest in clinical automation …

Abstract Introduction Mock circulatory loops (MCLs) are mechanical representations of the
cardiovascular system largely used to test the hemodynamic performance of cardiovascular …

We present a sparse representation of model uncertainty for Deep Neural Networks (DNNs)
where the parameter posterior is approximated with an inverse formulation of the …

Cardiothoracic open‐heart surgery has revolutionized the treatment of cardiovascular
disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. After the surgery, hemodynamic and volume …

Introduction: Ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are a valuable therapy for end-stage heart
failure patients. However, some adverse events still persist, such as suction that can trigger …

Artificial muscles enable the design of soft implantable devices which are poised to
transform the way we mechanically support the heart today. Heart failure is a prevalent and …

Continuous flow ventricular assist devices (cfVADs) constitute a viable and increasingly
used therapy for end-stage heart failure patients. However, they are still operating at a fixed …

The linearity and load insensitivity of the end-systolic pressure–volume-relationship
(ESPVR), a parameter that describes the ventricular contractile state, are controversial. We …

Background Contemporary Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) mainly operate at a
constant speed, only insufficiently adapting to changes in patient demand. Automatic …

Future left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are expected to respond to the physiologic
need of patients; however, they still lack reliable pressure or volume sensors for feedback …
