Acoustic Spectral Analysis for Determining Pump Thrombosis in Rotary Blood Pumps

Implantation of rotary blood pumps is an established treatment for end-stage heart failure. Anticoagulation is routinely used for reducing pump thrombosis, but this severe complication still occurs in 5–8% of patients. In 105 patients, the sound produced by the left ventricular assist device HeartWa...
