A Numerical Method to Enhance the Performance of a Cam-Type Electric Motor-Driven Left Ventricular Assist Device

Pulsatile left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) driven by electric motors have been widely accepted as a treatment of heart failure. Performance enhancement with computer assistance for this kind of LVAD has seldom been reported. In this article, a numerical method is proposed to assist the design...
