Windkessel model of hemodynamic state supported by a pulsatile ventricular assist device in premature ventricle contraction

Abstract Background Counter-pulsation control (CPC) by ventricular assist devices (VADs) is believed to reduce cardiac load and increase coronary perfusion. However, patients with VADs have a higher risk of arrhythmia, which may cause the CPC to fail. Consequently, CPC has not been applied by VADs i...
