CFD analysis and optimization of left ventricular assist device (LVAD)

There are various types of VADs, including volumetric pumps and continuous flow pumps!

Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of death worldwide, but recent advances in medical technology are allowing many people suffering from heart conditions and injuries to gain a new lease on life. The ventricular assist devices (VADs) relevant to this case are mechanical circulatory support devices that replace the function of a failing heart by pumping blood from the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) into the aorta. There are various types of VADs, including volume pumps that mimic natural heartbeats and continuous flow pumps for patients without a heartbeat. Other differences include the type of pump, such as centrifugal or axial flow, the placement of the pump, and which ventricle is being assisted (right - RVAD, left - LVAD, or both - BiVAD). *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
