Numerical Optimal Control of Turbo Dynamic Ventricular Assist Devices

Numerical Optimal Control of Turbo Dynamic Ventricular Assist Devices

The current paper presents a methodology for the derivation of optimal operating strategies for turbo dynamic ventricular assist devices (tVADs). In current clinical practice, tVADs are typically operated at a constant rotational speed, resulting in a blood flow with a low pulsatility. Recent resear...
