Comparison of hemodynamic variables in experimental study and simulation with ECMO flow 1–5 L/min. Heart rates are identical (input data). Systolic pressure increase is larger in the experiment. Cardiac output, left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction are almost identical. Comparison of experimental and simulated data suggests an increase in systemic vascular resistance in the experiment, whereas resistance was assumed to be unchanged in the simulation
