A numerical study of a left ventricular expander for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Increased cardiac stiffness hinders proper left ventricular (LV) expansion, resulting in decreased volume and diastolic dysfunction. LV expanders are spring-like devices designed to improve diastolic function by facilitating mechanical outward expansion. Implantations in animals and humans have show...
