Percentage change calculated in comparison to baseline conditions for total flow, left ventricular output (LVO), LVEDV and LVESV when IABP or Impella 2.5 (LVAD) support were simulated. The simulation settings included LVAD rotational speed at 35,000, 45,000 and 50,000 rpm and IABP support with Pv = −10, Pv = 0 and Pv = +10 mmHg, and Pd = 260 mmHg. LVO (or CO) is the Total Flow under IABP support. The sum of CO and LVAD flow gives the total flow under Impella 2.5 support.
