Abstract
To assess the effects of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in mode of synchronous systolic driving, left ventricular assistance (from left atrium to the ascending aorta) was performed in both systolic driving mode (SD) and diastolic driving mode (DD) in seven anesthetized dogs. We measured assisted flow, left ventricular stroke work and coronary arterial flow in both driving modes. Assist flow was significantly increased in SD than DD (p<0.05) and stroke work was significantly decreased in SD than DD (p<0.01). Coronary arterial flow was not changed in both driving modes. We concluded that SD was effective in terms of left ventricular unloading.
