Percentage changes produced by parallel TAL assistance (panel A) on left/ right ventricular end diastolic volume (LVED/ RVED), left/ right ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV/ RVESV), cardiac output (CO), mean pulmonary arterial pressure, coronary blood flow- aortic pressure (CBF- AoP) area, mean left atrial pressure and mean systemic venous pressure. In panel B are reported the percentage changes induced by hybrid TAL assistance. These results are obtained starting from baseline conditions reproduced by measured values on hospitalized patient. The selection of the patient undergoing TAL assistance has been carried out, previously, by the students on the basis of ontological concepts based on the evaluation of haemodynamic measured parameter values. During the simulations pulmonary arterial peripheral resistance was set to 240 [g·cm^-4·sec^-1].
