Abstract
Implantable mechanical circulatory support systems, known as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), provide long-term, life-saving cardiac support to patients with end-stage heart failure (HF). With the current state of the art, the devices used to quantify a patient's medical HF therapeutics and their interactions of the LVAD with the cardiovascular system are not well studied. Therefore, this paper presents the results with a novel method using the LVAD pump as a sensor. The LVAD system used in this study is the Abbott HeartMate 3 (HM3), currently in clinical use. This observational work aims to establish a link between the HM3 pump data collected non-invasively and the hemodynamic data obtained in the intensive care unit (ICU).
The novel longitudinal patient data obtained from the HM3 were analysed together with medical data from routine monitoring, such as invasive and non-invasive hemodynamics recorded in the ICU of the Medical University of Vienna, Vienna General Hospital
