Flow profile generation for a left ventricular assist device using iterative learning control

Nowadays, rotary blood pumps for the treatment of end-stage heart failure patients are usually fixed-speed controlled. Therefore, without sufficient heart activity, patients may reveal reduced blood flow pulsatility. However, there is evidence that pulsatile flow reduces adverse events. Furthermore,...
